Fingerprint ReaderIt's amazing how few people around the office know about this little gem but it seems to sell out continually at the company store. Microsoft has a new line of Fingerprint Reader biometric login products including a stand-alone reader, a mouse, and a keyboard.  The I got the stand-alone USB version as a Christmas present (thanks Mom), and set it up in under 3 minutes.  It's designed for logging into PCs and web sites without passwords. The real test for me was my wife however.  I didn't tell her about it.  She was prompted to set it up when she first logged in, and she LOVES it.  It's so much easier for her to log into her account.  Now they don't recommend using it for protecting financial logins etc. however if you're looking for a fast, friendly way to log into your home PC and have multple family members logging in, this is great.  Same for general website logins too.
