    I am close to get a RMBP, so I am asking me if there is any biometric authentication method available via face recognition for instance. I am used to fingerprint sensors in other laptops.
    I did not find anything worth searching the web yet. If nothing is available do you see a chance to hook something into the authentication scheme of an OS X system?
