Windows 8 will feature picture passwords with gestures

Posted: 05 Jan 2012 04:57 AM PST

It appears that Microsoft is working hard to improve security of its upcoming operating system, and after a feature that allows you to store and synchronize passwords in Windows 8, today we have another security feature that we want to show you.

Today we have several types of security layers, we have text passwords, facial recognition, but it seems that Windows 8 will feature picture passwords as well. According to Microsoft, you just need to choose a specific picture that you wish to use, and perform a specific gesture in order to log in. As for the supported gestures, you can use lines, circlers, and taps, but some security experts believe that picture passwords aren't secure enough because your gestures can be viewed or even recorded by another person.

We have to admit that picture passwords sound interesting, and although they aren't the safest method of logging in, they will still be a welcome security layer.

Finding the proper USB flash drive isn't always easy, but if you're looking for the smallest USB flash drive, today we have the right model for you.

Recently we covered DataTraveler Micro, one of the smallest USB flash drives, but today we have another USB flash drive coming from Deonet, and according to Deonet, this should be one of the smallest USB sticks on the market. This USB stick measures 19.5 x 14.5 x 2.9 mm and it utilizes Micro UDP chip, and thanks to this chip, the entire stick is almost twice smaller than any other USB sticks. This device is so small so you can just leave it inside of your USB port, and as for the capacity, there will be 4, 8 or 16GB models available.

This might be the smallest USB flash drive in the world, and only problem with it is that you can accidently forget it somewhere. As for the price, and release date, we should see this flash drive in January, but the price is still unknown.
