Passwords are a near perfect form of security for a relatively small
group of people who have good cognitive function, discipline and
intrinsic motive to remain secure. For those who need real security
and elect to make things difficult by using 30+ character
pass-phrases, and never using password managers, "something you know"
will be around for a long, long time.
The "something you have" and "something you are" (biometrics) peddlers
are selling to a different market. They are selling to those who
enforce security upon other people (domesticated users who need
convenience) and want a cheap low maintenance solution.
