Hackers around the world are getting better at stealing passwords.

A hacker is a person who uses a computer to gain information without permission.

Now, some computer scientists are trying to stop hackers by not using passwords.

The U.S. Military's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, DARPA, is responsible for the creation of the Internet.

The agency is supporting research projects that will make passwords a thing of the past.

One project is called Active Authentication.

Scientists working on the project want to use a person's individual qualities to protect electronic devices like wireless phones against hackers.

For example, the movement of a person's hands when they use a wireless phone can be read by sensors.

DARPA says the projects have had very good results.
