Usernames can (and do) change. It's rare, but people sometimes legally change their names. What is more common is when female employees get married, their last name changes. You then have to change their email address, like Firstname_Lastname@company.com and many people use email addresses for usernames. Most systems I know have the ability to change a username, although the change isn't always smooth or fast.
Which is why players will go to a VR parlor and pay for this experience. It's the greatest game that nobody can *OWN*, but they can probably afford to play it.
Voice recognition is already pretty good. It's not Enterprise-D computer level good, but in most cases it works. What really bothers me is that I doubt that the simulation will be able to support some of the things that fans would say to it.
"Reroute plasma through the secondary power coupling."
"Cycle power through ventral relay."
"Uncouple the Heisenberg compensators."
Sure, Watson will turn the voice into text accurately enough, but the simulation won't support any of those things, and will just respond with the same thing that Alexa or Google Home does: "I'm sorry, I don't understand". That's just disappointing.
2FA is fine for logging into gmail or twitter, but if you work at a small business that has an IBM mainframe, a Novell Server, or an Active Directory, then it just doesn't make financial sense to implement that. Guess what? Periodic password changes are CHEAP. 2FA is EXPENSIVE.
The point of periodic password changes is to protect against an *UNKNOWN* breach, where the password has been compromised and the user doesn't know. Is there some other method of mitigation for this attack?
Thanks to machine learning and A.I., voice assistants can accurately convert your speech into text. Unfortunately, they still are dumber than dirt, and have trouble COMPREHENDING things that even a 2 year old could. It's not artificial intelligence, it's artificial stupidity.
You can't kill a cartoon character. You can drop an anvil on his head. You can slingshot him into a mountain. You can blow him up with TNT. All these things (and more) happen to a particular coyote, and yet every week, he still comes back. Maybe limping and wrapped in bandages, or blackened from the explosion, but alive nonetheless.
NASA will realize this when only four people show up to the competition. Then they will have to do what they should have done years ago... Convert to a more modern language.

The object lesson here is: Don't rely on patches. Instead, have a strong backup strategy.
This attack *WILL* really hurt, but it will be good in the long run because it will teach people to back up data.
You forgot a step...
1.5) Get the OSS community to rely on your software on a daily basis.

Star Trek Discovery? It's been delayed until this fall.
Congratulations. You just used a 'Beavis and Butthead' joke. Watch your karma soar!
Games.
I have heard of the famous Alamo Draft Horse...
The cops aren't doing the profiling, the app is. Nice.
Hey Microsoft, have you learned nothing from Windows 8? NOBODY WANTS A WELCOME SCREEN!
I once repaired a PC that was used in a bakery. When I opened the case, it was full of flour and bits of dough.
Where do you people work?

When a user sees that someone wrote a nasty email to his boss on his behalf, he will *WANT* to change his password!
What if "what you have" is *NOT* missing, but someone has COPIED it?

Oh my God, like, entering my personal information to register for a website is *SO HARD*, I just can't take it anymore.
I can just see the Verizon ads now...
"Do you love your kids? Of course you do! That's why you need to give them the new Samsung Galaxy S8!"
You know what else is "separate from the kernel"? Every other web browser.
Even though the new Apple campus is shaped like a wheel, I don't think it will role. It might, however, roll.
The FORTRAN compiler is written in FORTRAN.
Is that anything like a Devi?
