Now concentrate the information on one thing so it may be easier to hijack my identity, why don't ya?
I can see it now, instead of piecing all the info together, one just has to get a hold of one file! I can see people clicking on phishing e-mail attachments that "only" swipe your "info-card" and the user is left with a feeling that nothing bad happened.
"Nothing bad", Joe Blow wonders, "I just clicked on this and nothing happened." |

In a way, that may solve some problems, but still there are lots of other dangers. I don't use passwords myself on the laptop. I have SmartCard verification integrated into a BIOS.
I truly believe that hardware level security offers the best protection. And MS should focus, as said in the article, on making OS safe from trojans and man-in-the-middle attacks (my favorite  )
