Is there a way to set up OS X so it can be accessed only by facial recognition via the Isight built into my Macbook Pro?

    I just saw a story on Digg this morning about a new service that uses facial recognition to assign tags to your photos IE. friends names....



    This might be a good venture for someone..

    I believe Kickaha was working on something just like this in his studies in North Carolina. I expect he'll chime in when he sees this thread.

    to hack this 'password' I would simply take a photograph of the owner of the computer and hold it in front of the iSight...voila!

    well, when the [insert government or whacko group here] comes over and forces you to log in to your computer, they just have to hold your sightless dead face up to the isight to log in. same for fingerprint recognition. Are you sure you want this?



    hehe, sorry, couldn't be helped.

    Our company has a 90 day password policy, and we wanted to stay compliant with Sarbanes Oxley we'd have to get plastic surgery every 3 months. No thanks.
