Not so simple
Also in addition to work related passwords (of which I probably have 6-8)there's also all the personal stuff, i.e. online banking, phone, & online stores of which I must have 10-15 (I find myself using "forgot your id/password?" links a lot as I'm getting older and I'm not stupid enough to use the same password everywhere).

Biometrics is equally open to being circumvented, read a report about someone in Japan who found ways round all the various types of biometric devices using items commonly found in most homes (like photos to fool retina scans, latex to create "fingerprints")
