With the advance of finger print technology does anybody think that one day we will just need to touch a sensor with our finger, rather than carry an easily lost card ?

So then a thief would also cut your finger(s) off?

I'm now imagining quite disturbing images :yh_sick

There are currently USB flash drives with fingerprint validation built in, just like there are notebook computers using fingerprint login. Putting the sensor onto an ATM is simple enough. The reason for the card is that it tells the ATM your bank code and account number, the PIN or fingerprint is just to validate you're an authorised user of the card. What would you have an ATM do if there were no card? Look you up from your fingerprint, out of all the world's card users? Your fingerprint without a card would open several bank accounts, not just yours.

It could have a unique code assigned to it, the same as the cards do ?

How so several bank accounts ?

Glad you asked Bruv. I was wondering too. "Not just yours"? Why would another person use your fingerprint for their account? This better be good!

Finger prints are unique to you.....................it always is good with the Spotmiester

What's "It" that could have a unique code assigned to it? The fingerprint? Whatever you've read, an analysis of a fingerprint can come up with duplicates among the population even in just the UK. Among billions of bank accounts worldwide the code derived from your fingerprint isn't going to be unique. As a verification for a held object like a credit card or a notebook computer it's sufficiently unlikely that another person would produce the same code that it's a good verification but as an identification among a billion people - or even among ten million - it's inadequate.

Are you telling me finger prints are not that unique ?

Fingerprints may or may not be unique, I've never checked. If you google [ computer matching fingerprint recognition false negative site:.gov.uk ] you'll see the hazards of boiling a fingerprint down to a lookup code and expecting to get the same code every time and not having duplicates among the population.

Best scrap that theory then, back to the drawing board.

It's getting cheaper all the time to analyse a person's genetic code. I reckon in twenty years you'll be able to spit at an ATM and it'll know exactly who you are in less time than you could stroke it with your fingertip.

Spit ???? No sorry......that wont catch on.

Heard tell they were seeking to ban spitting locally somewhere or other.

If they can analyse spit, why not finger sweat ? (perspiration for the Ladies)

You reckon, hey? That's like as good as money in the bank!

You what ? What is ? money in the Bank I mean.....

I think we will soon develop sensors that can identify us by the electromagnetic signals that our brains emit. Each is probably as unique as DNA.

Psychic computers. Wrap your brain around that. :yh_glasse

This is blatant discrimination against us flat-liners.
