Use Your Face To Unlock Your Computer

Remembering passwords has never been an easy task and it may get out of hand when we are compelled to remember too many – for our computers, e-mail accounts, bank accounts, social networking sites and so on. In an effort to use secure passwords, we thing up myriad combinations of letters, numbers and special characters. But sometimes, these passwords are so difficult that we forget them ourselves. Well, here is an easy solution – STOP using passwords and give KeyLemon a try. It is a nifty application that is capable of using your image as a password when you log in to your system. After all, nothing can be more secure than your own face and no one can possibly fake it to gain access to your computer.
