Hold on there BubbaLui!

Digital Me has more security than most systems for the most part because NDS has a Certificate Authority function/object built into it. So when you log into Digital Me with a User ID and Password (regardless of the workstation that you use) NDS will authenticate you and you will receive a Certificate. This means that NDS will make sure that you are who you say you are. As is the case in most systems - you MUST make sure that your password is kept private and is not easy to figure out. Once you are authenticated, your communication will be encrypted and secure (similar to connecting to a bank service via the web).

You are correct that the ultimate solution is through Bio systems and/or Security Token systems BUT most clients do not have that capability nor will they in the short term (i.e. does your PC/notebook have a BIO input device built into it? - I know that my notebook and every other PC I have walked up to currently does not have an input device like that). So in years to come maybe we will see Bio or Security Token input devices built onto every client but until that happens, the Digital Me security is about as good as the industry can provide on a large scale offering.
