BioKeyLogon

The standard Windows authentication is password based - the stronger the password, the better the protection against theft and privacy violation. If you require advanced protection methods, you can rely on auxiliary software that can guarantee the safety of your data.

BioKeyLogon is a slightly unusual solution, in the way that its algorithms are less popular, but definitely more clever. It relies on keystroke dynamics, a biometric based method that evaluates your typing manner and speed and creates a pattern that will be used at logon to eliminate the possibility of someone else trying to get into your computer.

The installation process takes no more than a couple of seconds and a restart is required in order to work properly. The program automatically detects all existing user accounts and lists them in the main window. It suffices to select the one that you want to password protect and to right-click it to start configuring the biometric password.

The first step to creating such a password is to enter it in the prompt dialogue, followed by the biometric password enrollment process, which detects your typing rhythm. Basically, you type the password followed by Enter key several times, so the software can design your typing pattern. Using this typing pattern, it is able to differentiate you from other users who are potentially seeking to break into your computer. The process is completed successfully if you enter the password correctly each time and if not, you are prompted with an error message.

The effort you need to put into creating a biometric password account is minimum by all standards, considering the increased security level your computer should benefit from with BioKeyLogon on the system.

The application makes sure that even if someone knew your password, the chances of them logging into Windows successfully would be drastically reduced. The only thing you need to worry about is the speed rate at which you type your password.
