Maurice,

The fingerprint ID sounds interesting. The best security feature I've seen in practice is called SecureID. You have a credit card-size device you carry with you that changes a 6-digit code every 60 seconds. It corresponds to a similar device at the server side. When you log in remotely, you enter the current 6-digit code plus a unique fixed password you designated when you initiated your service. To replicate you would need to steal the SecureID card and know the fixed password.

How does that sound?
