Webcam website CamSoda is encouraging men to take an establishing shot of their penis, collectively known as a dick pic, to use in place of a password.

The webcam platform explains that their “Dickometrics Penis Verification” tool allows people to verify themselves through a picture of their penis through technology referred to on the website as Penis Recognition Tech (PRT), Mashable first reported.

CamSoda says an erect penis is preferred to a flaccid penis because there are many more “differentiating qualities for verification” when the technology analyzes a hardened penis.

Users can “Register Your Penis” on CamSoda by snapping the photo of one’s own genitals and submitting it for future photo comparisons to determine – with 76 percent accuracy – whether or not it is truly you logging in to your account. The live webcam website calls the new security measure “dick-ometrics” and hopes that the replacement of fingerprints or retina scanners will ensure the most secure and personalized type of password: a “penisprint.”

“Like a fingerprint and an eyeball, which are two of most commonly used body parts in biometric technologies, the penis has many, many differentiating factors like size, color, and vein protrusion,” CamSoda Vice President Darren Press tells Mashable. “However, unlike fingerprints and eyeballs, penises are not exposed to the public a lot of the time and mostly kept under clothing and shared with loved ones – presumably who are trusted.”

Verification For Women The Next Step?

Press added that the website “plans to develop similar technology for women” in the near future, although details of that plan weren’t expanded upon.

CamSoda, which was founded in 2014, told the Sun Online that the technology behind the webcam website’s identification tool was developed by Google. The search giant’s NSFW feature already can identify penises from around the globe.

It should be noted that that this new penis verification technology announcement is taken with a grain of salt given CamSoda’s past of contrived press events. Earlier this year, CamSoda staged a stunt event to make a viral video in which porn actress Molly Cavalli was “savaged by a shark” during a fake shark attack off the coast of Palm Beach County.
