Hi all,
I am trying to think of ways that users of all ages can register and authenticate on a site without the traditional username/password. Examples like clicking on a series of images, dragging colored blocks into a sequence, or other 'brain friendly' methods would be great.
What are your thoughts on and experiences with 'passwordless' authentication? What are some solutions that have become popular? What are some innovative ideas that need testing?
Cheers!

Making things simple
What about things like OpenID or using the typical "password recovery" style questions to gain access? Just some thoughts for using really basic current techniques that would be easy to implement. If a child can't create a secure password maybe they could remember their last name or favorite character.

That seems like a good
That seems like a good approach. It would need to be sufficiently improbable that anyone could guess the combination of questions/answers or other simple identifiers, such images, to gain access to others' accounts.

TicTacToe & Drag-and-Drop
The Piwigo Easy CAPTCHA module is an example of a human friendly validation, using a tic-tac-toe board or dropping a specified item on a nearby square.
