I had an idea for a Natal App.

What are you talking about?
Do you know how many forums, bank sites, email accounts make you create or creates a password for you? How are you even posting on here if you dont? Maybe you use 4 numbers but a lot of sites ask for 6 letters min with two numbers.

Maybe you have a photographic memory and your face changes every other day and your voice keeps crapping out on you but others arent like that. You are special so please don't call me a moron for being human and forgetting a password that I made 4 years ago.

Also don't presume to think that a moron like me doesn't know about password recovery.
Hey Issac Newton here's an idea. When setting up the facial recognition how about having some sort of safety feature like "mothers maiden name" "where was you born" and for super people like you a password as some sort of password recovery to reset the facial recovery software and grant you access when you completely change your face or lose your voice..
Not a bad idea from a moron hey?

I don't know what you mean about the avatars (I am a moron) but if it's something to do with mimicking the movement of the host face then that's something completely different. You're asking it to remember points on your face not sing and dance with you.

First off, its a fucking game console. A 4 character password is PLENTY. Forgetting a 21 character password okay that I can understand. Don't want people in your bank account etc. But if you forget a password as simple as 4 characters. Then hell there is something wrong with your brain.

A normal human can remember 4 characters perfectly fine. You can spell your own name can't you?

Also, why do the whole facial/voice crap if your going to end up using old "point and click" tech if that fails to work. People like to do overly complex things. there is ZERO reason to implement this. 

 

And the avatar thing was. It reads your face. And then makes an avatar of you for you. It made a female avatar for a male. real exact right? Even the software used to scan faces in important buildings can and do get it wrong and need to be checked by a human. It cant mistake a simple 4 character password can it?

Sharky54 - On your first post you just said :

 

Facial would cost far too much. Voice could work. But even that is pretty costly. Its not simple going through and finding a perfect match for either of this. And what happens if you lose your voice? Or you have an accident and your face changes? This is why we have passwords. Forget silly over complicated ideas. Instead let the console be locked at any time like with a PC. Problem solved.

Lord Flashheart made a good point, then you clarified saying "4 number passwords" - commonly known as PINs (Personal Identification Numbers) - however, in that same post where you clarified "4 number passwords" you basically called him a moron, and I quote:

Also if you forget your password. You are a moron. And deserve not to play. Its not hard to remember a string of 4 numbers. Also Email/password recovery says Hi.

You sir, were overly ignorant to Lord Flashheart imo, I can totally see where he is coming from.  On top of remembering all my "personal" passwords I also need to remember no less than 8 other passwords at work.

I can quote you my SIN, Drivers licsense number, all credit card numbers and my 2 bank card numbers by memory, however, I do occassionally get passwords mixed up because I have so many of them, as they need to follow certain rules, at least 7 characters long, a mix of uppercase and lowercase and they cannot all be letters or numbers.

So, when you memorize 20 different passwords and never forget one, or mix them up...  Actually, I don't really care
