you can use a biometric device instead of typing in an password on your computer. it is a much better way of keeping your stuff personal because everyone has different fingerprints. but anyone can get your password to a cmoputer. <hacking>

What are Biometric devices used for?
A fingerprinting scan is a very common biometric device. There are also iris matching scanners for high tech security. @Nottingham YE$
What biometric device scanner most widely used today?
fingerprint reader
What does a biometric device do?

Does the use of a biometric device does not eliminate security and privacy?
The influence of biometric devices on either security or privacy will depend upon how they are used. Like any other device, biometric devices can be used appropriately or inappropriately. Does the use of a knife make you bleed to death? But then, maybe you will just chop vegetables.
Is the face recognition system an example of biometric device?
Althogh there there are better biometric devices, face recognition is an example of biometric device because it has to recognize your face to authenticate you to a facility.
What is a biometric device?
Broadly, a "biometric device" is any device that measures a biological function or trait. As related to computers, biometric devices are used to control access and/or verify identity. Voice recognition, retinal scanners, palm/fingerprint scanners are all examples of biometric devices. A biometric scanner will take a picture (your fingerprint, your retina) and match it to a previous scan kept on file. Other types of biometric devices, such as voice recognition systems, will record your voice and compare the recording to a sample on file.

biometric authentication device digital camera
What can be used to identify a persons fingerprints handprints face voice eye and handwritten signatures?
biometric device
Is a biometric device a input or output device?
Most biometric devices would be input devices although they may also utilize storage devices and output devices in their functioning. A biometric device usually takes in biometric information about a person and compares it to information stored in a database - much like username/password methods of authentication compare the username and password to the stored information for a user. Fingerprint scanners, read the fingerprint, convert it to a data stream and then compare it to the stored data previously recorded for the individual, retinal scanners read information about the retinal patterns of a user, convert it to data and compare it to stored data, etc. Note that biometric devices must rely on a storage device, but usually the storage device is not part of the biometric device. Instances of OUTPUT associated with a biometric device might be a signal to open a door or trigger an alarm, but again, the output usually comes from another device that the biometric device is connected to.
What is the biometric scanner?
A biometric scanner is a digital scanner used for imaging biological details. The phrase biometric scanner refers to the various fingerprint readers, palm scanners, retina scanners, and voice scanners used to verify identification.
