How to Use Fingerprint Readers
Memory is a funny thing. Some people seem to have great memories, and others don't. I've always had an exceptional memory so it's hard for me to totally identify with not being able to remember passwords. I first got interested in fingerprint readers because of my wife.She doesn't have a good memory for things like passwords. So, she was keeping her passwords for different sites in a file. I figured that the fingerprint reader would be an improvement, and I was right.
