USN&WR Article URL You can't forget this password Hint: It's your face, iris, or fingerprint usnews.com "...PC maker Compaq Computer thinks it has a partial solution to this new bane of modern life. Using optics and software supplied by Identicator Technology, a division of Sunnyvale, Calif.,-based Indentix, Compaq recently became the first big, mainstream marketer to offer an inexpensive fingerprint reader for corporate computer networks. With a unique fingerprint as a password, corporations can be sure that a person logging on to a computer network is who he or she claims to be. In the past five months, Identicator has sold more than 80,000 of the devices through Compaq and other companies. That you? Biometric technology–which uses unique human characteristics such as fingerprint, voice, face, or iris patterns to verify a person's identity–is making rapid inroads into corporate America. Jackie Fenn, an analyst at the Gartner Group, predicts that within three or four years, about one third of all corporations will use fingerprint readers or some other kind of biometric device."
