Typing in passwords can often be a headache when you have to put it over and over. Life would be so easy if it just unlocks with your faces and you do not have to type in every time to get authenticated. Well Facelock does what you want, it authenticates user through the face.
Intro
Facelock provides you with a fast face recognition system which can be used for authentication purposes. It authenticates users at logins, sudo commands on shell, and many other places where you need passwords for authentication.Everything you need to do is to show your face in webcam (which you already are) instead of typing a password.
Features
Facelock can have as many faces as you want to authenticate and stored such that no one(except you) can tell who all are allowed to access it without passwords. It has a very simple installation(two or three commands) provided at my github repo.
Facelock has a very intuitive and easy commands (Like facelock enable,facelock add label, ....) listed in readme of the repo.
You might think, what if Facelock does not recognise your face ? (maybe you look different sometimes....Just Kidding)
Don't worry , Facelock will try to recognise your face for a couple of minutes and if not found correct, it jumps back to password authentication.
Future plans
For now, it authenticates user if his picture is shown in webcam but it will corrected in future releases.
Install
