Digital Identity Racing with Artificial Intelligence ?

I was asked this question — What would happen to passwords when AI becomes more powerful?

Firstly, we do not need to wait for the arrival of truly powerful AI for the poor fate of passwords.

Once leaked, any strong passwords stored in plain text would not need any computing power. Even when hash-protected, passwords of not-high-enough entropy can be broken by conventional computers.

Secondly, if AI becomes truly powerful, we would not have to despair. We still opt to keep making the entropy of our passwords ever higher.

It’s obvious that our brain can by no means handle it and, however powerful, passwords written/stored on memos/devices are just vulnerable to theft. But we have a solution — get any high-entropy passwords generated from image data as illustrated below.

The entropy of several images can easily exceed a million bits. What we need to do is only locate several memorable images associated with our unforgettable pleasant experiences.

Memories of our personal experiences are outside the realm of artificial intelligence running on someone else’s computers, conventional or quantum.
