PayPal’s global head of developer evangelism, Jonathan LeBlanc, states that PayPal is creating “natural body identification” devices to replace passwords, which you either ingest or have injected or embedded into your body.
These could include everything from brain implants to wafer-thin silicon chips that’s embedded into your skin to ingestible devices with batteries powered by stomach acid.
As we’ve seen, even high-flying politicians like John Podesta work on sensitive material while exercising terrible email security, so it may be a worthwhile idea to have a better security protocol in some cases, but implanted or ingested ID may be a step too far for most consumers.
On the other side, of course, are the many unintended negative consequences of requiring people to adopt such ID schemes.

won’t be using paypal if this is implemented. Really bad idea.
NEVER!
no thanks
What a “load of c**p” headline designed to unfairly scare people about PayPal. What the guy said was that, “by talking about new biometric verification technologies, PayPal is not necessarily signaling that it’s thinking about adopting them [but] hopes to position itself as a thought leader.”
For those who don’t know, “biometric verification technologies” are things like fingerprint identification pads, retina scan identification, etc. That’s just near-term science-fiction stuff; iPhones and others already have the fingerprint identification. Not very shocking, if you ask me. He certainly wasn’t talking about contraptions that go in the body.
The article says, “PayPal said in a statement that it has no immediate plans to develop injectable or edible verification systems.” What that probably means is that the reporter was looking for a shocking headline so he asked, “Is PayPal thinking about developing injectable or edible verification systems?” The “PayPal statement” was probably the guy answering something like, “No, nothing like that.”
NO WAY they will have to kill me first……
I read a book years ago that said this was coming and I thought the book was crazy and now here we are.
