      This program would likely need to to be on start up, it’s another vector for data imput, this can be done wrong a lot of dif ways because of those two points alone.

          yes but it would have to be verified on a outbound server to make sure its real, otherwise you could use any old copy/fake or dead person. yet another path for attack and forces you to be online to access your pc.
