Microsoft Fingerprint Reader Reviews
If it were a "serious" device it would not let the fingerprint persist on the scanner. This device isn't intended to secure your system or data. It is intended to make log in to systems faster and easier. Inexpensive, accurate and easy to use. I use it to log in to XP, Quicken, and my brokerage accounts through the web logon for each. But Microsoft doesn't claim it as a security device.
Why sell a device without driver. I dont know what is going with this hardware, but in the CD there are not drivers to use. You have to purchase the drivers in another place.
I was hoping I'd be able to use it to log in to windows but so far that hasn't been possible since the device is totally useless without Internet Explorer being involved. (or firefox with a plug in) Can't complain. Easy install, easy calibration and setup, works as advertised, and for a reasonable price.
but it is a great device for home and personal use. I market professional and industrial security devices for computer, network and building access. I will agree that this is not for commercial use, i.e. Even works for elderly people who tend to have less definition in their finger prints.
It will respond and assist with login for all types of programmed access. This is as good as the top of the line security devices costing more than $200 more. In my browser, I can open my bank's web page and touch my finger to the reader and boom dada boom I am in.
programable interface, high level of lockout security.
Once again, the limitation of the fingerprint reader only works on IE. The bright red LEDs stay on all the time, it would be a lot better if they didn't come on until a finger was near or on the device. the import and export menu options. (And nothing works on Chrome). The windows login screen does change, it defaults to the fingerprint reader, but has a button for "other credentials". Installation went without a problem, I would change the installation so the message that says "plug in the fingerprint reader" goes away when you plug it in. This is a good way to have your spouse have access to all your files etc if something hap Microsoft Fingerprint Reader.
I like the wasy you can select certain fields of the login screen, and what button to use to "submit" when you create the login info. I had a problem registering my thumbprints, so I just used all my other 8 digits (in case I cut or scratch a finger). There is a way to backup and move the password files around - it is in. I am also using roboform, and am running both. The little device works, but as it says only on IE and windows login.
