If you are a dedicated computer user, then you, like millions of others, probably suffer from password shock. It happens every time you go to sign on and wham! You can't remember your password. A company called digital persona is selling a simple fingerprint recognition system for just under $100 that really works.

In case you are paranoid, the software doesn't actually store an image of your fingerprint, but creates a mathematical model of it instead. Check out the fingerprint scanner at www.digitalpersona.com
