5 Star Review a smart hardware making login easier

Strengths:

size, convenience

Weaknesses:

N/A

Posted Sep 24, 2005 - It's a smart hardware that makes login much easier than traditional way. You can choose any two fingers from your ten and store the fingerprints as password. After that, you never need a keyboard or a mouse when login. The only drawback is that the windows startup time delays a few seconds after installing the driver of the fingerprint reader.

5 Star Review Good product

Strengths:

Good price - Got it for 49.99 3year ago, now I see it go down to 20 dollars.

Weaknesses:

Only work with Microsoft software like IE. If you don't use IE for web, don't buy this product.

Posted Oct 11, 2006 - I don't have to type in my password to log in to my windows XP. I like the function that you can store your web log in information in to the database that you can just do fingerprint log in to your online banking. But some web sites like ING did not play well with this scanner. Also, if you using any thing other IE, this product is not for you. However, you might want to update the software from microsoft websites. The later one is more stable.

Strengths:

It really does what it says. Once configured, which was easy to do, it will log you in to different sites with one finger scan. Can be configured for different users and multiple fingers.

Weaknesses:

Some sites were a little trickier to configure. Those were the sites which use an email address as a log in. The device allows that flexibility. The infrared light on the reader stays on all the time.

Posted Jan 27, 2005 - I would buy it again. I'm not sure how ironclad is the security to actually access the files and the stored info and whether or not that info could be used to bypass the required finger print scan and log on to sites. It is not recommended for financial or secure/sensitive info sites.

5 Star Review MS Fingerprint Reader

Strengths:

Easy to set up

Weaknesses:

lack of password generation

Posted Aug 25, 2005 - I bought this fingerprint reader yesterday. it was very easy to set up. Just pop the cd into your drive and the software prompts you all the way through the process. Once the passwords are entered into the program you can forget about ever inputting them. You can make the websites for which you have passwords appear within the fingerprint program or not. The product was a good value for the money. Highly recommended!

4 Star Review Precise, Hassle-Free, Very Convenient, and Easy-to-Use!

Strengths:

N/A

Weaknesses:

N/A

Posted Aug 14, 2005 - The Microsoft Fingerprint Reader is an excellent gadget! It is precisely what someone like me needs badly (using the PC all the time, sitting in front of it most of the day every day, slightly varying passwords to numerous sites, etc). With that said, I wouldn't necessarily recommend this to someone who only uses their PC on occasion, or just doesn't have to put up with a million user names/passwords. This device is very accurate. Scanning and registering my fingerprints was very quick and easy. I did not have trouble the first time at all. It's small, sleek, and it compliments my desktop quite nicely. It's very much compatible with numerous programs (Netscape Mail & Newsgroups, Internet Explorer obviously, Netscape browser, G-Mail Notifier, and many online games), and almost ANY site with a login screen. Simply put, this device is as perfect as fingerprint readers get. It's highly compatible, no technical problems**, no complicated installation, and it's very easy to clean: simply stick a piece of Scotch-tape on the optical sensor and gently pull it off. Again, I highly recommend this to people have many uses for their computer, along with wanting a complimentary addition to their desktop. ** Why only 4 stars?? I have a few of these fingerprint readers (home/work/notebook), and it seems to be hit or miss. Sometimes you get a great unit, and other times the one you buy might take 10 to 20 scans before it recognizes you--EVERY TIME you want to use it. If that happens, most stores have a great return/exchange policy that will allow you to exchange defective merchandise.

5 Star Review Microsoft fingerprint reader does its suppose to

Strengths:

logs you into the computer. multiple accounts on window easily accessed and swtiched with fingerprint. All passwords stored and easily log in. no need to type anymore.

Weaknesses:

some sites are a little tricky but only encountered one so far out of 50 and firefox does not seem to work with it, only internet explorer.

Posted Jul 14, 2005 - I really like this unit. Would buy it again. Easy to use. Easy to configure. Does what it should. It's cool gadget. Only thing, if you use firefox only then don't use this as it will irritate you. Hopefully firefox will come out with a plugin for this.

5 Star Review Finger Print Reader

Strengths:

Easy set up, Excellent Product to maintain your passwords

Weaknesses:

None so far, Its better if this product also available in wireless mode

Posted Sep 1, 2005 - Microsoft Finger Print Reader is a great tool to manage the passwords. One major drawback of this is that if you have multiple login on one website then it will not support, for example if you have two account on same email say GMAIL then you can only configue only one account on this. It will not allow you to add options. Overall its good product.

Strengths:

The hardware and software was easy to set up and configure.

Weaknesses:

Accepting fingerprint (see comments).

Posted Apr 14, 2005 - The reader does not always register the fingerprint login. On some attempts I had to reapply my finger a number of times before it accepted the fingerprint. One weakness of the system is loging into a business website which has multiple subaccounts. The fingerprint reader could not distinguish between the subaccounts.

5 Star Review Great product

Strengths:

Can have more than one username & password on any site, easy setup, fun to use, lets you touch the screen and then pick a web site from a list, and will automaticly log you on to that site.

Weaknesses:

Light is always on, one time got an error that I exceeded power to my usb hub.

Posted Jan 29, 2006 - This was a Christmas present, that when I got it I thought what do I want this for. Turned out to work allot better than I thought it would. Microsoft even allows for on any web page, you can have multiple usernames and passwords, so, to check my kids at school (grades, etc.) I hit the button and it asks me which login I want to use, even lets you change the names, so it asks my kids names, not the numerical number the school assigned. I do wish the light would go off after an hour of being on, it requires you to push the button to read your fingerprint, so it should be an easy fix for release 2.

Strengths:

Once set up, works very well.

Weaknesses:

WSeems to only work with Explorer (no big surprise there). Won't work with Firefox. Doesn't work with websites which have a log-in on one page and a password on another (at least I haven't figured out how to make it work yet.

Posted Nov 12, 2006 - Still brand new to this so I don't know if it will allow me to save passwords and log-ins to a separate file. Idea behind the reader is to give you an unlimited number of passwords, but if I have to remember them all (or write them down somewhere) then it doesn't have quite the same utility (though, in all fairness, it may have this capability and I just haven't discovered it yet.)
