Hi folks
Any sensible apps for fingerprint sensor out there, particularly for accessing network drives etc -- seems much better than mere passwords or pin numbers - both of which mean committing stuff to memory and is "Hackable" (potentially).
A decent physical / biometric sensor seems the way to go - it's unlikely that scenes you see in Hollywood where fingers cut off or eyes gouged out will happen for bog standard domestic / home computers. !!!!!! The laptop I'm using has a small built in one - just slide a finger over it -- but I've got no apps yet to use it !!!!!.
