Actually, while biometrics are all the rage, they're apparently not all
that accurate. I've read that all you need to fool the fingerprint
scanners built into laptops is some Silly Putty. So if you can set your
laptop to require *both* a fingerprint *and* a password, that would
certainly be more secure.
God bless,
