Good product
Strengths: Good price - Got it for 49.99 3year ago, now I see it go down to 20 dollars.
Weakness: Only work with Microsoft software like IE. If you don't use IE for web, don't buy this product.
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...

a smart hardware making login easier
Strengths: size, convenience
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.

Great Little Gadget
Strengths: Easy setup. Small takes up little space.
Weakness: Security, not sure how secure information is. Reader stays on all the time.
Not a bad little gadget. Price was reasonable. I am still trying it out. I have a lot of sites to visit and make profiles for. Intial setup is really easy.

I would buy it again. I'm not sure...
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.
Weakness: 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.
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.

MS Fingerprint Reader
Strengths: Easy to set up
Weakness: lack of password generation
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...
