yeah, id never actually use one.

Biometrics is the way to go. If I find a finger print reader for cheap I'll buy one for my home computer. The security is tight there, with my family forced to use complex passwords (numbers, letters, special charachters, etc).

i want biometrics for work. all the passwords i need to remember and change often is fucking rediculous.

i have:

hard drive password on boot
windows password
softid vpn password

JUST TO CHECK EMAIL

the new thinkpad notebooks have finger print readers, it's fucking awesome

biometrics is good and bad

80% of biometric scaners can be fooled by a play dough thumb.

biometric static image scanners are very bad because when you put your thumb on it to scan it leaves your thumb print on it so all you need to do it take a bag of water and press it against the scanner and bam your in.

biometric compassitive scanners are good there the type where you pull your finger across the scanner.


anytime something seems convenient its not secure. security is not convenient.

how would you retrieve a picture password, if you forgot it?

My bank does that now....its mandatory for online banking......It hasn't been bad for me yet....I would preffer the fingerprint one where you have to move your thumb accross the scanner.....plus I am EXTREMELY creative when creating passwords so I've never really had a problem.....

you have bofa? bofa does that but they keep the password on their server... you kinda have to sign on twice, once to enter your social and then make sure your in the correct state and then make sure its your picture and then enter in a password, and also it asks you one out of three questions when you first set it up on your computer, but after its all setup you only need to enter in one password, i think its pretty damn secure

One of them is bofa and yah - they keep it on their server...the other is a .....different kind of account where I have the password like they described in their article....but more complicated....its kinda like a game to me....solve a puzzle to get another password screen.....fun shite!
