> a world where everyone carries around a cheap hardware authentication module

There are moves towards such a future with U2F / UAF (Fido) and Yubikeys (a U2F version is meant to be released this year). I know it won't roll out exactly as planned, but I'm still excited by the tech.

Yeah, U2F is exciting. It has a lot of weight behind it, and I can't wait to try out the new Yubikey implementation.

We move closer to the day when I can buy embedded authentication hardware in the form of a ring, and I can make endless jokes about One Ring to Rule Them All.
