 Excellent and convenient. December 20, 2008
DanH (Austin Texas)
This device isn't intended to secure your system or data. If it were a "serious" device it would not let the fingerprint persist on the scanner. But Microsoft doesn't claim it as a security device. It is intended to make log in to systems faster and easier. I use it to log in to XP, Quicken, and my brokerage accounts through the web logon for each. Inexpensive, accurate and easy to use.
 Hard to customize November 23, 2008

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. Why sell a device without driver?
 Works as advertised, nothing spectacular. November 10, 2008
S. Arnould
Easy install, easy calibration and setup, works as advertised, and for a reasonable price.
Can't complain.
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)
As good as the best. October 10, 2008
Wilbur Lidzy (Guatemala Central America)
I market professional and industrial security devices for computer, network and building access. This is as good as the top of the line security devices costing more than $200 more. I will agree that this is not for commercial use, i.e. programable interface, high level of lockout security.... but it is a great device for home and personal use.
It will respond and assist with login for all types of programmed access. 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. Even works for elderly people who tend to have less definition in their finger prints.
 Good Device, Some Shortcomings, can backup up passwords September 24, 2008
A. J. Segal (Tempe AZ USA)
Microsoft Fingerprint Reader
The little device works, but as it says only on IE and windows login.
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.
I had a problem registering my thumbprints, so I just used all my other 8 digits (in case I cut or scratch a finger).
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.
There is a way to backup and move the password files around - it is in
the import and export menu options.
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 am also using roboform, and am running both. Once again, the limitation of the fingerprint reader only works on IE. (And nothing works on Chrome!).
This is a good way to have your spouse have access to all your files etc if something hap
