    This has been doable for over 30 years by tapping into a phone line -- and even with a directly connected keyboard (such as with a laptop), but this Swiss wireless method is a "nice" variation. I'll go into greater depth about this at my Zero-Day Defense blog either later today or tomorrow.

    This just gives users another reason not to use passwords as the major means of authentication.

    It's time for alternatives such as yubikey.
