Biometric Access Protection Devices and their Programs Put to the Test

Memorizing passwords is out. Laying your finger on a sensor or peering into a webcam can suffice to gain you immediate access to a system. There is the danger, however, that this new ease might be bought at the expense of security. How well do biometric access controls prevent unauthorized access? We have tested eleven products for you.
