Passwords can be broken or forgotten and they tend to multiply like rabbits when you spend a lot of time surfing every day. You have a specific password for your online banking, another for Facebook, and one for each of your email accounts, and to make things worse, you are often unable to use the same password for each of these sites. So what if you could eliminate the need for all of these passwords by using the one unique thing you have—your face. This is where Xidtech’s FaceLogOn steps in by offering facial recognition software that anyone can use to protect access to their personal computer. While it is not currently available for outside applications like your webmail account, one doesn’t have to look too far to realize that facial recognition software could become the ultimate password solution. Currently, Face LogOn utilizes your web-cam to verify whether you are indeed allowed to use the computer or not.

“Using a simple web-camera, Face LogOn ensures the identity of the user by providing biometric verification in an automatic continuous process, based on award winning XID Face Recognition Artificial Intelligence technology.”

It would not be at all surprising to see Face LogOn take off in a big way and expand to offer a wider range of password solutions. Facial recognition is a perfect way of protecting your PC and Face LogOn’s free 1-month trial and $19 price tag after that make this an interesting solution that could take off.

Already eluded to above, but worth repeating, is whether they will be developing a functionality that will allow users to use the Face LogOn solution for all of their online-password needs? Also, how accurate is the facial recognition software and will it support multiple users?
