Paypal Plans To Make The Human Body A Password For Accounts

Before I start this post, let me tell you what paypal is just in case you don't know(which is highly unlikely).

Paypal is an American worldwide payment system which serve as an electronic alternative to traditional paper methods like checks and money orders. It acts as an acquirer through which you can order stuffs online, or pay for other things online(like paying for a wordpress domain).

This brand (paypal) has plans of making the human body a password for their paypal accounts by ingest a microchip this is due to people forgetting their passwords. Due to security reason it is not safe to use the same password on all your accounts(Facebook, Twitter and other accounts) but the problem is how to keep and remember all your passwords!.

Noticing this problem, Paypal decides to create a microchip which when ingested grants automatic access to your account! (cool right?). According to Paypal's global head of developer Jonathan LeBlanc the next generation identification for online payments and other sensitive online interactions would not depend on traditional "username and password" processes, neither will it depend on old biometric identification methods like finger print scanning or IRIS scanner. Rather it will depend on something easier to use and more secure "Embeddable, injectable and ingestible devices" that way your identity would "almost" impossible to hack.

These chips have in-built ECG that help in monitoring the unique electrical activity of a person's heart and communicate via "wireless" methods. Moreover ingestible capsules can be used to detect and analyse glucose levels and other unique internal parameters of the human body as a method to verify the identity of a person.

Paypal is also working with developers to build other types of futuristic identification processes such as heartbeat recognition bands and vein recognition technology.
