As far as I know, PIN, password and picture password are the only ones there.

Theoretically, a Kinect for Windows may allow for facial recognition.

FingerPrint Recognization is a good part for any PC with more Protection..

Fingerprint reading would be added via a third party driver along with the hardware. So those options would only show up on a machine with the hardware and proper Win 8 compatible driver installed...

There may also be key card verifiers or any number of other log-on mechanisms but they all rely on third party hardware so are not going to just show up on any machine. :)

Face recognition could be done as long as you had a web cam... but I don't know if that's a built in option (doubt it actually).

It is in THERE, been there since the Developers Preview. But it is tricky, you have to remember your exact expression, positioning in your seat when you took the picture. I dumped it after 2 days. TOO much work to be useable to me.

Ah cool :D too bad it fails though...

Actually I have the same problem with the thumbprint readers, Either they fail to work or you can get other people to trigger a positive a lot of the time. I've not had any confidence in them either since they came out several years ago...
