Until someone discovers an easy way to compromise fingerprint security scanners, they’ll be making their way into more and more devices that have typically required you to memorize a password or combination.
Take this run-of-the-mill safe for example. The traditional spinning combination lock or numeric keypad has been replaced with a considerably easier to use fingerprint reader. And like with any device that uses this means of security, a simple swipe of your digit will lock or unlock your valuables. Unfortunately I have no idea how many users this safe supports (probably just one), what kind of abuse it can survive (fire etc.), or how long the 4 AA batteries will remember your prints.
You can find it at Gadget Universe for $399.95 and because it weighs close to 30 lbs, you’ll have to add an extra $19.95 for shipping charges.

指纹保险箱，不是来保护指纹的哟
安德鲁 李斯哲威基
如果有人能找到对指纹安全扫描仪折衷的简单方法，那么他们将长驱直入，进入那些需要记住口令和暗码才能打开的设备。
拿一般的保险箱举例来说。传统的旋转式密码锁或数字键盘已经被相对简单的指纹读取器所取代。像其他的任何一种使用这种保安方式的设备，手指的轻轻一击，就能锁住或打开你的贵重物品。不幸的是，我还不知道这种保险箱能识别多少个人的指纹（也许只有一个人）。它能经受哪一种破坏(比如用火烧），或者4节5号电池能多长时间保存你的指纹。
这种保险箱Gadget universe有售，单价$399.95，因为它大约有30 磅重，所以得另付$19.95做运费。
