Apple has unveiled a slew of new patent applications that include facial recognition, where this technology will be used for controlling access and various handset functions. It is definitely less intuitive than other current options available, and it looks like passwords won't run out of style anytime soon.

Guess it will be some time before we see these hitting the market.
