    a mouse being configured to be manipulated, said mouse being in electrical communication with said electronic device, said mouse having a top wall and a lateral wall; and

    a scanning unit being coupled to said mouse wherein said scanning unit is configured to read a thumbprint when said mouse is manipulated, said scanning unit being in electrical communication with said mouse such that said mouse communicates the thumbprint to said electronic device thereby facilitating the thumbprint to be compared to the authorization code stored in said electronic device, wherein said electronic device is configured to communicate the passwords to an extrinsic program thereby facilitating said electronic device to log the authorized user into the extrinsic program when the thumbprint scanned by said scanning unit matches the authorization code, said scanning unit comprising;

    a processor being coupled to said mouse, said processor being electrically coupled to said mouse,a proximity sensor being coupled to said top wall of said mouse wherein said proximity sensor is configured to sense when a hand is placed on said mouse, said proximity sensor being electrically coupled to said processor, said processor generating a scanning sequence when said proximity sensor senses the hand is placed on said mouse, anda thumbprint reader being coupled to said lateral wall of said mouse wherein said thumbprint reader is configured to be manipulated, said thumbprint reader being electrically coupled to said processor, said thumbprint reader scanning a thumbprint when said processor generates said scanning sequence thereby facilitating said mouse to communicate the thumbprint to said electronic device.
