Biometric Authentication

Amatsu · 25-August-02, 11:11 AM

Someone mentioned an eye scanning device before, but I found this small USB fingerprint scanner for password protection, would look nice painted and mounted. Also acts as a 2 port USB hub

. Quite cheap.

Seems a little over the top at first.... but then again, if that is what it takes to be secure....

Of course it's over the top, under the top is just boring

I have seen many different models/brands and I think they are a bit too expensive. $120 is still too high IMHO. I know there are cheaper ones.....Thinkgeek.com is over-priced on alot of items also.

I would recommend it to someone with a short memory span who has a lot of passwords.....but what happens when it breaks, and you were too lazy to remember the passwords?SOL? That is what worries me.
