Face Recognition to Log In to Computer

Been messing around with this program for a little while. I thought it was pretty interesting and seems to work fairly well. Let me know what you think.

What if I hold a picture of someone up to the camera, will it recognize it as that person or keep me locked out? How about if I grow a beard, do I need to reset my picture? It's a cool sounding program for sure but I happen to like long complicated passwords.

Isn't Windows 8 going to support face recognition as a log in option?

Do you mean natively support face recognition? With the proper software you can log into Windows 7 with face recognition. It comes as a feature on most Alienware laptops.

So far it seems to work pretty good for me. I am using a free version of their 64-bit software. I imagine Blink Pro would work even better because I wear glasses and the pro version is supposed to work better in certain hard to recognize situations. The one thing I dont like is that it takes a few seconds to initialize the camera, I wish it was a bit quicker.
