As has always been the case. The user has to know his/her password and might write it on a sticky note or something. That can never be fully secure.

Consider a building with many doors and the janitor has copies of all the keys, locked in a box. But the key for that box can't be in the box, it has to be somewhere else, usually in the janitor's pocket. If that one key gets stolen, the thief has access to all of the other keys.
The janitor can lock the lockbox key in another box, but then the key to that box might get stolen.
It's never-ending. There will always be some nth item which might get stolen and may then provide access to all of the other items like dominos.

I have no idea how someone can possibly think that anything can be fully 100% secure. The concept is a fallacy.
