Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley's School of Information have come [down / up] with an [ingenious / ingenuous] device that might, one day soon, replace the [need / necessary] for passwords. A press release explains: "Instead of [typed / typing] your password, in the future you may only have to [think / thought] your password."

The project's findings were [unraveled / unveiled] at the 2013 Workshop [on / in] Usable Security at the Seventeenth International Conference on Financial Cryptography and Data [Securely / Security] . Team leader Professor John Chuang explained his new technique provides a more [fail-safe / failure-safety] and cheaper solution than things like fingerprint scans, retina scans, or [facial / farcical] or voice recognition. He said his team's inexpensive headset [connects / connections] to a computer wirelessly using Bluetooth and is [little / bit] different to headsets used with mobile phones, music players, and other [computing / computable] devices.
