Summary: Fingerprint Reader
Comment: I ordered one and liked it so well I ordered a second one six days later.
Excellent product would be hard to live without now.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: easy to use, works great!
Comment: I have this product built-in my laptop and it was good to know that there is a similar one that I can use for my desktop. It works as advertised, no hassle, easy to use. The best feature I liked most is the ability to "register" IDs and passwords. I just wished they had a cover for the device when it is not in use so it does not accumulate dust. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product.

Summary: A Ways to Go!
Comment: As a technology professional, particularly in the IT field, and as a past project and implementation manager on various public safety projects, I am very familiar with AFIS (Automated Fingerprint Ident. System) and I suppose that technology is what I was erronously thinking the Eikon product used - not so. In the time it took to "get it just right", I could have entered authentication credentials a multitude of places many times before I could get the Eikon to "take" an entry. There seems to be too many conditions that have to be just perfect before it works as intended. For example, damp fingers, slightly dirty fingers, a film of lotion (no matter how small and invisible), not enough pressure, too much pressure, too fast a swipe, all those variables and more cause the h/w not to accept input. I'd love to have one of these but my personal and professional experience tells me they've got a ways to go before this is practical and makes sense to the run of the mill user. Go back to the design table folks and I'd love to have one..as I am sure many others would. You've got to take into better account the conditions variability amongst multitudes of everyday/casual users. Thanks G. Jones

Summary: Highly Recommended
Comment: My Aunt recently turned 80 and she's starting to have difficulties remembering all her different User ID's and Passwords ... online banking, online shopping, medicare, health insurance, etc, etc, etc. So, after a little research, I decided to give this thing a try.
The bottom line... it works GREAT!
In fact, I was so impressed with it that I bought one for myself and I expect other family members will find one of these in their Christmas stocking this year.
It's a great solution for handling the ever increasing number of User ID's and passwords that are part of using a computer today. It couldn't be easier with this device.
We're using it on Windows XP systems and it worked flawlessly. If you use Firefox 3, which we do, you'll need to download an add-on to get it to work properly, but that was very easy to do.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Summary: Great Device !!!
Comment: The install for this was a simple as it gets. Very straight forward setup of the reader, and I had both operating systems of my dual-boot (winXP Pro and Vista Ultimate) system up an running with just a fingerprint logon in no time.
The device works flawlessly and I've had no glitches whatsoever!
I highly recommend this gizmo for anyone looking for a biometric logon device.

The Eikon(TM) Digital Privacy Manager combines the award-winning Eikon USB peripheral fingerprint reader with the same Protector Suite QL software currently shipping on millions of notebook PCs today. The Eikon addresses the growing need for a simpler and more secure way to protect important personal information from threats such as phishing, password dictionary attacks, and malicious software. Rather than using simple or redundant passwords on multiple sites, PC users can now choose complex passwords and let the Eikon remember them automatically!
For Mac users, the Eikon provides a quick and secure method of unlocking Keychain; which allows them to manage usernames and passwords, digital certificates, keys, and private notes. In addition to easier access to their growing number of password-protected web accounts, PC users also enjoy the following benefits by simply swiping their finger: 1) Respond to Windows® Vista(TM) UAC requests to enter an administrator password for tasks such as software installations or configuration changes; 2) Quickly and Securely logon to a computer; 3) Lock/unlock a computer and rapidly switch between user accounts; 4) Launch favorite applications by assigning specific fingers for each one. The Eikon fingerprint reader won the prestigious Consumer Electronics Association (CES) Best of Innovations Award in 2007. The bundled Protector Suite for Mac and Protector Suite QL software is compatible with Mac Leopard and Windows Vista, XP Home and Professional, 2003 and 2000 operating systems respectively. WARNING: This product does not support Apple Open Directory. Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price: $54.99. Price at Amazon: $49.99.
