What will be the replacement for passwords if we are no longer using them to login?

[CSO Explains:](http://www.csoonline.com/article/3131325/security/survey-says-many-companies-want-to-phase-out-passwords.html)

> Don't be surprised if your company decides to do away with password logins. A new survey has found that most organizations are leaning toward phasing out password authentication.
> 
> The results comes from Wakefield Research, which surveyed 200 IT decision makers in the U.S. last month. Sixty-nine percent of the respondents said they will probably do away with passwords completely in the next five years.
> 
> Password login systems, though commonplace, are too vulnerable to hacking, according to SecureAuth, the company that commissioned [the study](http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/secureauth-survey-69-of-organizations-will-do-away-with-passwords-within-5-years-2166238.htm). Not surprisingly, SecureAuth sells alternatives to password-based logins.
