Title: Are you tired of having to both write down or remembering your passwords?
Post by: Morpheus on April 15, 2025, 02:46:53 PM: OK, along the same lines as your cell phones... You can use your fingerprint to let you into any place/app with your cell phone.

My question to you is, have any of you gentlemen used a fingerprint sensor for your desktop at home? And if so, what would the make be?

Also, should you suddenly pass away, those left behind would have much easier time canceling all your accounts if all your passwords were in a notebook. Even better if the passwords had a creating/changing date added. Of course they could also cut your finger off the corpse, preferably after embalming so the finger won't rot before the job's done.
