Video cameras are nearly everywhere. Not necessarily for surveillance purposes, but it takes social networking to a whole new level. What's more, technology now allows software to detect face patterns with intelligent associations with yourself or friends and family. KeyLemon is such an application and lets you access any of your accounts simply by showing your face.

You would expect a complicated set of options stored in a difficult interface. However, the application is designed to impress right from the start, with an incredibly intuitive, yet cleverly simple interface that manages to have features spread around the main window in such a way that everything is easy to identify.

A side panel offers quick access to major settings like general, webcam, profile and plugins, while the rest of the main window is taken up by dedicated options.

One of the first things you might want to do is run through the integrated wizard in order to set up a basic profile. You are simply required to activate your camera and look pretty as that represents your extra layer of security besides a password requirement.

Detections is done quick, with impressive quality delivered. By default, your Windows account is the first that takes advantage of this login method. Accessing the “Profile” section enables you to store multiple credentials in case you are not the only user.

On the fun side, an interesting plugin from the dedicated tab lets you take daily pictures you can share in the form of a slideshow on various social networks. From the same menu, a different plugin allows you to use this type of login method for nearly any session that requires your credentials. Moreover, for enhanced security, you can set the application to record all attempts to access your accounts, with the so-called “Hijacker tracking” tool.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that it is a shame to posses and frequently use a webcam but not have KeyLemon installed on your computer. It lets you quickly accommodate, with most effort required on your behalf being to look at the camera for as little as a few seconds a day.
