      Today is apparently the security news that keeps giving.

      Lenovo's fingerprint manager software gives out passwords to anyone with personal access to the system.

      Another one to track onto the list. At least it looks like this one has actually been fixed, unlike some others.

        Great, isn't it? Just in case you lose a finger or so

        BTW: Please add the "biometric" tag.
