Eye Passwords - Too Lazy to Type? Just Stare at Your PIN [Edit]


Eye Passwords - Too Lazy to Type?  Just Stare at Your PIN Click for Larger Image

Reseaerchers at Stanford University have developed ‘eye passwords’.  Eye passwords allow you to enter your bank pin by simply glaring at the right keys. 

The system is intended to protect you from spying people.  However, I think it’s really just a solution for people who are too lazy to type.

Stanford University has folks working on just such a solution to the dreaded "shoulder-surfing" at ATMs, and has come up with EyePassword. They're testing some systems that track your eyeballs in a variety of ways to perform PIN input, and while the resulting study shows that input times are slowed a little, the system does indeed make "eavesdropping by a malicious observer largely impractical."
