We all get to hear almost each day to not use the same password for different purpose like banking, social networking and others. So, to feel secured, we have to use different passwords for different ATM cards, e-banking sites, Facebook, Twitter, etc. But remembering these passwords is a big problem. It is almost impossible to remember seven to ten passwords together. The good news is that Intel has understood the problem and their researchers have developed a tablet with new software and a biometric sensor that recognizes the unique patterns of veins on a person's palm.

"The problem with passwords is we use too many of them, their rules are complex, and they differ for different websites," Sridhar Iyengar, director of security research at Intel Labs, said at the annual Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco in a TOI report. "There is a way out of it, and biometrics is an option." Iyengar showcased the technology by “quickly waving his hand in front of a tablet but not touching it. Once the tablet recognizes a user, it can securely communicate that person's identity to banks, social networks and other services where the person has accounts,” he said.
“A device using the technology would use built-in accelerometers to detect when a user puts it down, and would then log its owner off to keep unauthorized people from getting in,” according to the report. The palm-identification technology will make laptops, tablets and smartphones responsible for identifying users. Users will be not required to enter password for individual websites.
