 don't buy this April 9, 2008
0 out of 5 found this review helpful
i purchased this, and when i took it out of the box it was broken, i called the manufacture, they wanted to to test, retest, retest and test again on different computer, thank god i have 4 computers at my disposal, after i was upset and doing their work (full troubleshooting) they did not even offer to fedex a new on when the clearly stated it was factory bad. Told me to goto the retailer, so i called amazon , who refered me to antonline. i went in circled with these fools saying i just want a rma to return and get my monies back. I never got one just wait 2 more days ( i heard that 4 times) i talked to a supervisor who gave me a rma and am awaiting a refund now in 30 day. This was my first and last ever amazon purchase i will also never buy thru or from antonline and i am also over eikon! It's not worth the bother wait til Mac releases their own bio metric reader, this is a joke and a big hassle for nothing and i am still waiting for my monies and had to pay the postage to return the piece of junk! so i am out 3.10 and several hours of frustration!

I purchased this for use on the MAC (since it indicates MAC compatibility). You must download the software from the manufacturer site. Unlike the PC version, it does not store passwords, etc into a databank for use of the biometrics when you enter the site. It appears only to allow system log-on and allows you to unlock your login keychain at startup.
It would really be nice if, when you went to a secure site (that requires a name and password) that it would make you scan your finger(s). It's kind of an all or nothing device. This function is already available via Safari preferences (under edit users and passwords). Scans easily though for log-on.
If anyone figures this out, let us know. The lack of page specific scan requests gives it a 3 out of 5 since that is what it is supposed to accomplish. I can easily use my keychain built in to do the same thing.
 Just do not cut your finger off March 28, 2008

As long as you do not trim the tip off of your scanned finger while slicing onions or cut if off in the wood-shop, this is a great security device! Having a very complicated data storage system (6Tb) of irreplaceable images on RAID 1 and my main office machine in a very public space by choice, there has been easy access to my computer by anybody who thought they needed it. No more; I absolutely love this simple biometric scanner. It was totally easy to install (do read the directions). It works like a key lock but no key to loose. And, because it scans my fingerprint only, there will be no opportunistic quick access to my system. If someone wants to steal any of it they are going to have to work (hard) at it.
Wonderful product! March 27, 2008

This product works great. I have Vista 64 bit and Microsoft finger print reader does not work with 64 bit. I heard about this product on one of the Microsoft boards and decided to give it a try. It works great. You do have to search for the 64 bit software but it is not hard to find, It remembers all of my passwords and it logs me into my computer, Also works great with Firefox. Wonderful product, just wonderful! I love it! Best purchase I have ever made.
nice, but has some bugs.. March 26, 2008

Item is practical, however, it contains some bugs. For example, you need to adjust the speed of your swipe so that the sensor "reads" your print correctly. More often than not, I found myself swiping my finger over 5 times, adjusting my speed every time, in order for the sensor to read it.
And, just recently, somehow, my websites are no longer working with the fingerprint reader. They were working fine, but now don't. I might need to go back and register the sites with the reader.
It's a nice alternative to the whole password thing... however, prepare for some issues.
