Product Description
If you're like most people, you have more than a dozen passwords and user names to remember. Whether you're checking your e-mail for new messages, catching up on the news, posting to a Web discussion group, or playing games on the Web, you have to sign in all the time. Have you ever sat there, staring at your screen, wondering which password you set? With Microsoft's Fingerprint Reader, you can log on to your computer and your favorite Web sites with the touch of your unique fingerprint, without having to remember all those passwords. Simply place your finger on the receiver whenever a password or username is required. Easy-to-use software makes replacing passwords with your fingerprint a breeze. The Registration Wizard helps you register fingerprints for each user. When you first visit a site that requires a password, just touch the Fingerprint Reader with your registered finger, enter your data, and then click OK. When you browse back to that Web site, you can simply log on with your fingerprint. You can also use the Fingerprint Reader to quickly switch between Windows user accounts without closing programs and files?and each user's personal content stays personal.

This product doesn't work with Windows Vista RC2
I have the product because I just love the idea of being able to log on, switch accounts or sign on multiple web site with the simplicity of a finger touch. My goal was to use it with Windows Vista RC2.The packaging very clearly states that the requirement is to have Windows XP. A friend of mine told me that all the software needed to run that nice piece of hardware was probably already available in the operating system. This is not correct: the package comes with a CD-ROM and you have to install...

No Firefox or Windows domain support - deceptive MS marketing
I bought this product on the cool idea that I could log on to any Web site with the use of my fingerprint. The dos say that this product "should" not be used in corporate networks so already I was feeling suspicious, but since the store I bought it from has a good return policy, I chose to try it out.

Also, as some other reviewers pointed out, if you don't use Internet Explorer...

Great Idea, time saver, but...
Pros: I gave this item a 4 out of 5 stars because like many of you have so many sites that require logins now a days and some are not atonomous enough to remember your login info or password. This thing really comes in handy when logging onto your bank account website or other frequently viewed websites. So far successful programs that have worked which are non Microsoft programs are, Yahoo Messenger 8.0 and Gmail Notifyer. Logging into Hotmail, other sites like amazon.com are a breeze.Cons: While...

Does not encrypt fingerprint!
A nice device, but Microsoft didn't include software that encrypts the fingerprint image. Although very difficult to do someone *could* steal your fingerprint. To be safe I would not use this fingerprint reader for password protected websites that contain sensitive information or for network admin or computer BIOS privledges....
