If it checks every hour, that's once a day you have to key in your password. The technology reminds me of the signature-verifying technology for credit cards being worked on that doesn't look at the image of your signature, but rather how you move the pen as you sign your name, which apparently is more reliable. 4% seems annoyingly high for a false negative rate.
