Methods, Systems, and Products for Authenticating Users

摘要

Enhanced biometric authentication combines a user's inherent biometric data with the user's password, code, or other secret glyph. For example, the user's finger makes an input on a touchpad. An image of a fingerprint is extracted from the input, along with the user's password, code, or other secret glyph. In one input, then, the user's finger serves two authentication schemes for increased security.
