Comment:
Is password enough for authentication? Any other ways for the authentication (like USB keys)? What else can I do to enhance my Internet security?
Follow-up:
Password is definitely not enough. But we do not know what really is enough. Remember the weakest link concept? Thus, to enhance security, we really have to do as much as we can, without compromising efficiency or convenience too much. So it is true that in many situations, some more security measures, e.g., using a hardware key, to couple with password for authentication.
Biometrics (e.g., retina scan, finger-prints, etc.) are also commonly used as further information for authentication.
I do agree with your opinion and yes its true that password is not at all enough for authentication. So many other security measures are available that can be used with password to have more protection.
