A password that's truly yours alone

Advertiser Staff and News Services

You don't have to be a secret agent to use the Verifi VP 2101 Fingerprint Reader. Instead of using passwords to keep unauthorized people from using your PC, this gadget relies on fingerprint scans.

Once the reader is connected to your computer, you can log on by placing your finger on the reader. Assuming it's the same finger you scanned during the initial setup, the reader will grant access to your PC.

The One-Touch System, which includes the Fingerprint Reader, software and a USB cable, costs $180. www.zvetcobiometrics.com
