How about the way the person types?  I believe that there is an area of
identification in which the rhythm of the user typing in his password is
as important as the password he types.  Of course, the amount of code
required to do this would probably be prohibitive, but this is an *ideal*
solution after all..

Another problem with the scheme... what if the user happens to be a bit tipsy,
not quite awake, etc., and can't quite get the rhythm right.  What about
careless typos?  Basing the protection on how the user types just isn't a good
idea.
