AOL Moves Beyond Passwords for Log-Ons

Though AOL no longer has the cache it once did this development is likely a sign of where authentication is going.

My sister-in-law uses one of these devices that displays the system's current password and it is pretty slick. My worry would be losing it and how long it may take to get a new one.

New Wireless Check Verifying Service

New product from a company called Ju$tchex that can verify a check, using the routing and account numbers, through a secure website or text messaging.

This type of technology takes away another reason why people use checks: the ability to pay for something without the money, or at least money at this exact second.
