<p>A system and method for employing fingerprints for user authentication on a website is described. Embodiments of the invention employ a fingerprint scanner integrated into a USB device to scan a current user's fingerprint, and compare it against a stored fingerprint associated with the authorized user. If the current user is determined to be the authorized user, a user name and password associated with a requested website and stored on the USB device is entered onto the website. In one embodiment, the USB device is a password bank that both generates and stores passwords for various websites, removing the need for user memorization altogether.</p> |
