End of the line for online passwords, says PayPal

If you run into problems trying to remember a password on your mobile or computer when trying to buy something, then things could be about to get easier.

The fact is that the way we users typically deal with having multiple passwords for our online accounts makes us too vulnerable to spyware, phishing and identity theft. Many of us rely on the same password, while many more of us only use three or four passwords. Ideally, the best password would be something like Az1f6&jWz – but you’d never remember it.
