While it’s highly unlikely that someone is going to mess with your computer while you’re not sitting in front of it, there’s always a chance. The information we keep on our computers is just as valuable as material possessions nowadays, and we would do well to guard it. However, for those of us who keep a rather lengthy password, locking your screen can be a major annoyance as typing out every number, letter, or symbol every day can feel like a waste of time.
If you are one such person, then something like the Verifi Premium Fingerprint Scanner would do you some good. This will allow you to simply swipe your finger, and you’ll have instant access to all of your digital goods. It will only work with Windows 7, 8, and 8.1, so apologies to all of you XP and Vista users out there.
This is likely the most useful for those that work in an office setting. You never know who could be trying to get into your personal files while you were away for five minutes. While this will save you the time of logging into your computer (and potentially various apps), you will have to spend $55 to make it yours. It’s a trade off of spending time working to make money to spend on a product that will save you time while you’re working. It could also be useful for the home office if you’re tired of people logging onto your computer and messing up what you were working on.
