I've handled this a lot and physical objects and password storage software is helpful. Re: biometrics, crazy people have specific muscle motion patterns they settle into that you might be able to profile in combination with something else. of course non-crazy people have this too. (psychosis is scary. it causes slow well-documented brain damage. the antipsychotics cause a different kind of brain damage, kind of a pick-your-situation thing except where you have to pick one of the antipsychotics. they don't like to talk about those things.)
