ABSTRACT:
A portable memory storage device (“device”) is provided. The device includes a microphone for receiving a user voice input; a controller that receives the voice input and creates a template; and a plurality of non-volatile memory cells for storing the template, wherein the template is used to authenticate the user for any subsequent user request for accessing the device and an application is launched when the device interfaces with a host system to enroll the user as an authorized user to access device functionality and/or access host system functionality.
