I came across this while browsing the net and thought - hey that’s pretty cool - forget remembering a zillion passwords - just place your finger on the scanner and bingo - a secure login. Now this seems entirely foolproof unless you have watched the same movies I have. This product is no good if you are in the Yakuza because someone could keep your little pinky and their goes your security, just make sure you keep your eye on your finger if it does happen to come off and it’s no worries for you.

Changing your password could also be a problem - it involves expensive plastic surgery that can only be done in Columbia by disgraced US surgeons with 3 day growths.

If you are not the worrying type and you just want the latest in password security and to feel like you are part of the 21st century then the Microsoft Optical Desktop with Fingerprint Reader is a cool tool.
