How standard passwords are bad and counterproductive
Pretty much everyone has at least one online account - from the basic email to social networks, forums, cloud storage, bank accounts and many others. Experts recommend that in order to secure them, you create a unique password - that's at least a 12-character combination with letters, numbers and symbols. Now try that with all your accounts! It's a total headache to remember one or two, let alone a dozen or more. Even if you lock them all under one password, it would be a weak level of security at best. But there’s another way.
About fingerprint scanning technology, and why ours is superior
Every person is the world has a different fingerprint. So you already own a unique key, and we provide a fitting lock. To break it down: When you use iTouch ID for the first time it captures an image of your fingerprint and stores only the analysis data of the print, not the actual image. When you use it again, to access your accounts, it compares parameters of your fingerprint with the template and if they match, your in. No hacker in the world can get access to your fingerprint - because the image is not stored!
iTouch ID is capable of being the front-line of defense for your laptop’s operating system, acting as a main password alternative. It also can manage multiple passwords to your accounts and automatically log you into your favorite social networks, messaging clients and any other programs or websites. It even can lock and unlock files and folders on your computer. Just create a setting and iTouch ID will do the rest. Virtually every instance where a password is used, can now be resolved with iTouch ID.
It's super safe, tiny, easy to use and more ...

Risks and challenges
Risks
There are always risks that can delay the process before iTouch ID gets into your hands. We thought it might be a good idea to share them so you know what we are dealing with.
Component supply:
iTouch ID, or any product for that matter, contains a significant amount of components. These components come from different suppliers which have different lead times for their components. If one of these suppliers has a short supply or a long lead-time, this will delay the entire production if a substitute is not found for that component.
Enhancements in production:
When in production there are a couple of parameters that can be improved during the process such as the color, click feeling, translucence, IP class etc. Making such enhancements during the process will improve your experience with iTouch ID. We will do everything we can to ensure that iTouch ID ships with superior quality.
Shipping and customs:
When we start shipping there's always a risk of the product getting stuck in customs, either when we are receiving the products from the factory or shipping them to you. We have prepared to the best of our abilities to avoid any foreseeable delays.
