Yes, I know it, of course :) My notebook is not contain any secret
files, military plans or other important things. There is many ways to
gain access to computer when it is in other hands.
The most secure solution - is to lock the laptop in a concrete bunker,
and work with it exclusively remotely. Or, simply lock it in same bunker
and power off at all. :)
Fingerprint reader is used for convenience by first. When my wife use
notebook, she opens her session with its own settings and preferences.
Same way with me. Why all around warns me about fingerprint
authentication is insecure?
With best regards, Alexey Prokopchuk (AP8686-RIPE)
