Abstract
Provided is an authenticating apparatus that, in the case where authentication is performed repeatedly for the same operator, is capable of performing authentication without the operator having to consciously input unique information from the second time on. The weight scale measures the weight of an operator. The weight-registering unit, when an operator is authenticated as a user registered in an authentication list, registers the measured weight measured by the weight scale in the authentication list as a registered weight of the user. The user-selection-receiving unit receives a selection of a user. The weight-comparing unit authenticates an operator as a user registered in the authentication list by determining whether or not the registered weight of a user, of which a selection is received by the user-selection-receiving unit, is registered in the authentication list, and comparing the measured weight and the registered weight.
