A problem in general
No matter if you're dealing with the physical or virtual world, absolute security is an illusion. Passwords keep most people honest. Passwords stop even those who actively try to break into a PC or network. To a point.

The people who want to break in and that are good at will find ways around whatever security is in place. You still hear about people breaking into museums or banks that supposedly have high end, high price security measures. The US pres is the most protected person in the world and he is still at great risk most of the time. Mostly from himself, but that's another discussion.

Security is a concept, its not a reality.
