  I would like to hear your guests comments on expanding the use of public private key pairs as an alternative to passwords.

  These can be additionally password protected, but the password never leaves your computer.

  They can also be set up on USB smart cards, and usable on multiple computers.

  Isn't it incredibly dangerous to let out your mother's maiden name since that is used for banking info and other core ID issues?

  I never give out real information if I can avoid it, even birthdays and locations, and would prefer to mask my IP address if possible.

  who on earth doesn't use fake info? why would you possibly give any real info? bad enough your ip addy is logged, that's tmi.

  Don't the guests assume that everyone is dumb enough to respond to an email that requires you to enter your password so it can be compromised? I mean, come on!

  Why have 2 guests to discuss a topic if all they're going to do is agree with each other on every single point?

  thanks.

  A lot of folks do use real info, name, initials, or even their full names in their email accounts. How about having to use the last four digits of your social for sites or VRU systems or your driver's license id#, it's unfortunate there isn't anyway around this.

  It would have been a bit more interesting if there was a slightly different view offered but some of these segments have such a short lifespan if there is any dissent then the segment goes nowhere....at least this wasn't a journaltisement.
