Many people use passwords and other question methods for extra security for their computers, but ever think of finger printing your computer users?

Great now kids will see "Mission Impossible" and try breaking into thier parrents computer using fingerprinting dust and wax paper :lol:

Very cool, I just wonder what happens if someone breaks the mouse. Does that mean you can't get into your system :?

I've read several articles about biometric security and it doesn't look very reliable. If I remember correctly fingerprint scanner can be duped using a fingerprint from a gummy bear.

hi everybody, I think it is a good idea.
fingerprinting (biometrics) on mouse. In addition, body temperature detection in mouse too? It makes more sense to me this way... :lol:

I first saw this technology on TV about 4 or 5 years ago (some home makeover show). It wasn't so reliable back then (but reliable enough, it got it right 9/10 times) - it was the latest thing - but I would imagine that reliability would have improved by now.

I'd go for it if it was cheap enough.

Its a spiffy idea, but I doubt its going to be used by very many home computer users. Perhaps big companies will (some already use technology like this) but seriosuly. How many of you have files on your computer that someone would break into your house to steal? Im sure osme of us do, but I for one keep all of my most precious information on paper and CDs in a lock-box. Maybe someday this will become a reality, but its just not that practical right now.

Its fixed into the mouse with an indent surrounding it so it lays on a flat surface.
