Computer nerds, please tell me if this would be feasible.

What if, instead of using passwords, your various accounts could be activated by a key. Like a simple flash drive or something. This could make each password potentially thousands of characters long, but as simple to use as plugging your flash drive in.

Have you ever used a key card?
Yea... Just a wave of a piece of plastic and your in.

Spoiler: more rage (click to show/hide)

[Max White]

You are getting trolled by a child with an IPhone, DrPoo. I would advice telling his parents about his use of language and moving on from this incident.
The fact that this is in the rage thread rather than WTF thread is a tribute to his success.

Did the rest of my generation get hit with a stupid ray or something?

Yes, this stupid ray is called the internet. It is a place where children can express their inner moron without fear of authority or repercussions.
Enjoy.

Makes me glad I didn't start exploring the Internet until I was 17 years old. I think I was spared the worst of it.

For passwords, there are cards that generate a new password like every 15 minutes (in relation with the computer/network). Which means, you can't really crack the password, but you could still steal the card.

Perhaps, but I feel it would be safer and simpler as a whole. Cards can be cancelled or deactivated once you realize they are lost, and can't be stolen by a hacker 3000 miles away and behind a dozen proxies.

If you forget to take it with you you can't get into anything, blah blah blah.

[Lagslayer]

Is it any harder to remember your card than it is to remember a few dozen passwords?

Like a door key!

It is for me, actually.

Several times over the past year I have left the house, driven off, reached my destination half an hour later, then patted down my pockets to see if my phone has slipped out of my pockets, then realised I actually forgot to pick it up on my way out, and also my wallet as well, that's going to get me into big trouble one day if it keeps up.

This is why I've developed the habit of patting down my pockets several times before going anywhere and while on my way to a place or before leaving somewhere and while on my way back. Also, I always check to make sure I have my keys and they're outside of the car before I lock it. Also I check my coat pocket to make sure I have both my gloves and hat. I don't have to worry about leaving anything behind because I have obsessive-compulsive routines.
