Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for biometric shortcuts. In an embodiment of the invention, a biometric shortcut method includes storing in a database a multiplicity of different fingerprints, each in connection with a different command for a corresponding application and optionally acquired by way of a fingerprint scanner affixed to a computing device. An end user is then authenticated into use of the computing device and subsequent to authentication, a scanned fingerprint is then received in the fingerprint scanner and the scanned fingerprint is matched to one of the different fingerprints in the database. Thereafter, a command for a corresponding application stored in connection with the one of the different fingerprints matched to the scanned fingerprint is determined and the command is issued in the corresponding application executing in the computing device.
