A network administrator in Denmark is requiring users to perform
a finger press on a banana [imgur.com] to receive their Wi-Fi passwords. "The banana is mounted and in production," he
posted Thursday [reddit.com], sharing two pictures. The banana uses a special
new circuit board [kickstarter.com] from Makey Makey to form a connection between the banana and a cheap Raspberry Pi computer with a screen attached,
according to one technology site [thenewstack.io]. They note that it could also detect finger presses on a doughnut, an apple, or even Jell-o, and offer
this quote [reddit.com] from the sys-admin about his motivations. "It's fun... It'll make people smile. It beats a static WPA password in funnyness." And most importantly, "When people leave our office, they can't access our WI-Fi because there's no banana to touch."
