Feature: Face as additional db key part #305

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
A face could be used instead of a keefile (or the password) for a two-key 
verification or as an additional verification for a three-key verification.

This could be done either with the face recognition which comes with ICS (if 
possible) or OpenCV. OpenCV has the advantage that it could be integrated into 
KeePass (perhaps as a plugin).

I like this idea. However, one thing that scares me off a little, is this would 
make it difficult to share a database between phone and PC.

The Keepass database format only supports a single key built from multiple 
sources. If it could support creating multiple keys that could be independently 
used to unlock a database, that would be interesting.

However, that *application* itself could incorporate a second *layer* of 
security by independently using facial recognition in order to allow entry into 
*any* database.

This would be accomplished outside any database, and thus would not be 
incorporated into the database itself.

it's the same as the NFC request also - it would not have to be Db specific, 
but *app* specific.
