The days of using a password to access a bank account or cellphone will soon be a thing of the past, President Obama’s top cybersecurity adviser said Thursday. The risk of getting hacked by criminals has grown so widespread that far more sophisticated identification technology — including biometric head and hand scanning devices — will become the norm. “You’ve started to see some of that with the emergence of the fingerprint readers,” said Mr. Daniel, adding that the technology will become increasingly mainstream as cellphone cameras, “hard” card readers and other authentication gadgets replace the annoying process for millions of Americans of punching in a password to confirm their identity. Since passwords can so easily be hacked, a variety of new technologies will provide more protection and some “will be biometric related,” he said. Features like fingerprint scanners on phones are popular because consumers believe such advancements will protect them from government intrusions on their private data
