gypsygrace Posted January 10, 2011 ID:372357 Share Posted January 10, 2011 On Line Access With A FingerprintA new service developed by a researcher at the University of Southampton makes it possible for users to maintain multiple online accounts using a scan of their fingerprint as a password. The new service, FingerID , has been developed by Sara Alotaibi, who has just completed a Masters degree in Web Technology at the University's School of Electronics and Computer Science and got the top mark in her cohort for this research.Check out more here: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/12/101215082942.htmWould help with on line identity thief among other things. Could it be possible for the ID to use another print other than your own? I was thinking not as I read but mistakes are made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
