    Hi everyone.

    Attached to my Dell laptop I got FastAccess, an app that logs in / locks the computer by recognizing ones face.

    The idea isn't revolutionary, but given the lack of a fingerprint reader, it's better than nothing.

    However, this application is really terrible, and is definitely not "fast". I could type my password 5 during the time it takes for it to start recording.

    I know some time ago there was Banana Security, but that software doesn't seem to work any more (at least, not on W7 ;) ), and the "new" version, KeyLemon isn't free and I can't find any reviews (I'd rather read a few professional opinions before I purchase such an app).

    Does anyone know any good apps that would be suitable for this task?

    Look into VeriFace or Luxand maybe.
