How about replacing a password with your own face!

Hey everyone, what do you think about using your face as a password? A company in Canada called BioScrypt had announced its new 3D DeskCam that is about 3 in. tall, half in. wide that functions both as a Webcam and security system. The camera uses infrared along with lens to scan your face in three dimensions to authenticate users accessing computers. The facial-recognition system has passed tests using identical twins and professional face molds. A person who has registered with a beard and had it shaved off doesn’t have to reregistered, but with someone who has plastic surgery needs to. This new camera will cost you about $350 and will be available sometime later this year.
