Eye Like Security
from the scary-bodily-security-breaches dept
I have to admit that I'm tired of remembering different passwords for different programs or PC's. The Authenticam offers an appealing solution. It finally delivers consumer retinal recognition (how long have we been waiting for this type of system!). Hopefully, they'll succeed and I won't have to carry around digital keys, cards or remember login passwords again (I can dream can’t I?).
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

No Subject Given
2. My password problems are due to a myriad of internet & computer sites and services. Not using unique passwords for the administrative stuff at school, the workstations in lab, and my primary e-mail addy would be a little daft. Then there are the zillion web services-- paypal, napster, DSL/earthlink, etc for which I'd have a hard time remembering even my login name if I hadn't started reverting to the very first login name ever assigned to me (u2604ab) for everything.
I don't see how retinal scans are going to help me remember my password for the online banking site I use once a month. As far as just 'bio-identification' goes, I'd argue that Apple's voice recognition system (remember the "my voice is my password" PR from Apple about a year ago?) works pretty well.
