an image login
So I was looking at laptops at a techshop and I saw an ASUS laptop it had a webcam that auto logs you in when you start vista. Has anyone heard of this being done is this possible with any laptop with a webcam? Basically it starts up sees your face in webcam and wala!

Actually, I've read that Keylemon is working on their software to allow it to distinguish between a real face and a high quality photo of the face.
Right now it can be exploited via that method, but I know that they are (were) working on it.

Yes, I know it could be exploited, that's why I have posted that question The conclusion is - do NOT use this system if you have sensitive and important data on your computer.

Some laptops have the fingerprint scanner as well.
Just add sound recognition, and a standards password and you'll have one hell of a secure laptop!
- Must recognize your face
- Must validate your fingerprint
- Must validate your voice print
- Strong password to be typed into keyboard

How many false-negatives do these face recognition programs generate?
I would hate to be locked out of my laptop! (At least until I plugged in a USB key or similar backup login device.)
