Photograph person trying to break into your computer
by trying to guess your password. This application will use your iSight to take a photo of a person typing in an invalid password. It can e-mail the image to you. Yeah, people are dumb enough to try to guess your password.

1. 'Course that only works if you have a decent password
I'm constantly amazed at how insecure most people's passwords are. Seems like half the corporate computers I've worked on have a password written somewhere on the desk nearby. :eyes:

2. What you could do is plant a fake password so they think
they have it made.

I saw a lot of passwords back when i owned a janitorial service.

3. In conjunction with this software, that could be a good plan!
