Product Description
Remembering a bunch of passwords can be quite a pain, considering the amount of e-mail accounts, Bank accounts, social networking sites, and forums that one participates in every day. You cant just leave them on a text file on your Windows Desktop, making it privy to all and sundry and neither can you write it down in a small piece of paper lest it gets lost. What are you supposed to do then, considering all those above mentioned user accounts are mission critical? The answer lies in the Eikon Digital Privacy Manager. The Eikon Digital Privacy Manager provides a fingerprint authentication security solution thanks to the Eikon USB peripheral fingerprint reader coupled with the Protector Suite QL software. This solution enables you to retrofit this biometric authentication system onto an existing computer, greatly simplifying the different aspects of PC usage at the swipe of a finger. No longer do you need to cram your brain with a whole bunch of passwords when your humble fingerprint is enough to do the job. In fact, sensitive files can be encrypted and launched in different applications as long as you assign specific fingers for each one. The Eikon Digital Privacy Manager is compatible with Firefox, Windows Vista, and now Mac. Dont worry about having your fingerprint replicated - the fingerprint reader stores only mathematical data based on the uniqueness of a fingerprint, in shorts, a template that cannot be reverse engineered to reproduce the fingerprint image. The Eikon fingerprint reader won the prestigious Consumer Electronics Association (CES) Best of Innovations Award in 2007.

This is a fantastic little device - I wish I had found it sooner! It works perfectly with FireFox 3 (once you have installed the updated plug-in) - I never have to remember a login name and password again! Fantastic. br / br /I have got it to work with password-protected Office 2007 files, my Vista login, and with TrueCrypt so far - amazing. br / br /Not once has it miss-read my finger swipe. br / br /I bought it from Useful World, and it was on my desk the next morning.

This product is absolutely fantastic for the following reasons. br / br /1- Can be used with internet explorer or firefox. br /2- Very easy to scan your fingerprint and no matter what anyone says it seems near impossible not to get the sensor to read your print. br /3-It populates the fields and then signs you into the website, no need to hit enter. br /4-It stores all of the websites which can be selected from a drop down list rather than having to navigate to the site (though you can do either) br /5-It sets up a virtual volt on your computer where you can store files protected by the fingerprint. br /6-It has a blue LED which looks real cool. br /7-You can export the data to another computer using a flash drive so that you do not have to reenter the data again. br / br /I cannot see any negative about this product other than it is not compatible with all other browsers. br / br /All in all an amazing product which saves you time,worry and hassle by remembering all your usernames passwords. br /

This small, stylish reader work well with Firefox 2.0 and Vista Ultimate 64 bit (software included with purchase). br / br /Gets the master finger reading within 5 swipes, from then on, it reads your finger or fingers every time, almost without fail. Able to store username, passwords and any other details you want to keep secret. Just a swipe at any password protected site gets you logged on. br / br /Because it's a swipe reader the fingerprint cannot be lifted and reused, unlike some other readers. br / br /This device has saved time and frustration from not remembering my password for a site. br / br /Oh, it has a protected folder too, just in case you want to keep secure details to hand (or to finger). br / br /Get this one, you won't be disappointed. br /

Forget passwords! And it certainly does that! A great peace of kit to free up a little more space in our ever full brains! Work seamlessly and does what it says on the tin and more, It installed without a problem and was working within minutes. It works better than the Microsoft fingerprint reader when I used that with XP and then Vista 32. It did a better job of recognizing fingerprints. Oh and fast delivery too............Buy Buy Buy
