With NFC becoming more popular on phones and NFC circuits requiring no power source, maybe password jewelry could provide positive identification of users?
Make a watch or a ring with a NFC-enabled chip inside, put the required crypto services on it, upload public and private key, and allow devices in range (and websites/apps using those devices as a proxy) to trust it as partial proof of identity by doing the normal challenge-response deal.
I guess it'd make a pretty conspicuous target for theft.
