Has this ever became of you? You have not been to a website in a few weeks and you just cannot remember the password and now you have to go back using your email and fish it out. Or, is the next step this major no no of security? Make use of the same password for each website and application you are able to.
It's time you tried a password storing finger print reader. Basically all consumer finger print readers work exactly the same; you install the software and connect the fingerprint device. You then install the fingerprint reader into an available USB port, scan your finger (normally the right pointer finger), and today while you surf the web the software asks you if you wish to store the user id and password related to that website.
The fun part, once you visit that site again in the future all you need to do is put your finger around the reader also it fills in those pesky user id and password fields for you personally. No need to ever forget or use the same password again.
So how does this all work?
Before we start it is good to understand this technology exists because everybody has their own uniquely identifiable piece of information, our finger marks. While our forerunners did not develop this adaptation for password protection, more for gripping and holding, it's a nice side-effect. Since each group of fingerprints in coded in its own way through thousands if not millions of environmental factors there's almost no chance that anyone has, has ever endured or will ever had the same fingerprint as you; even if you're the same twin.
So now the fingerprint reader just has to scan your finger and make sure all of the ridges match, sounds easy right? Well, it does have a quite of bit of technology to actually make it work. First the scanner uses either an optical or capacitance scanner to take a "picture" of the finger using either light or electricity respectably.
They then "read" if how it is taking a look at is really a ridge or valley and uses your computers processing capacity to compare the captured fingerprint with the fingerprints on file, from setup, in your system. They do this by utilizing very complex algorithms and focusing in on the very fine areas of your actual fingerprint and comparing specific features called minutiae.
The scanner doesn't bring your whole fingerprint into consideration when making a match; it simply needs to find some parts that match both the minutiae and the record of your print on file. Once the threshold of matches is reached voila you can get that password protected page you desired and you didn't even need to consider it.
