Fingerprint Reader?

Question

I am looking to purchase a fngerprint reader- either in a keyboard or separate USB reader. I have Windows Vista and I use Firefox to browse the internet. All of the Microsoft readers support Internet Explorer only, and not Firefox. Are there any readers that work with Vista and Firefox? I'm not looking for major high security or anything, just an easy way of entering passwords.

Answer 1

The Microsoft reader is a good choice. It's reliable, rugged, well designed and DigitalPersona Password Manager is a good login manager for IE and for Windows itself. For Firefox, check FingerAuth ( http://www.fingerauth.com/ ). It's an extension for Firefox that works with Vista. You can download it at the website above an try it for free for 30 days.

Answer 2

You really don't need a fingerprint reader. What you need is Roboform. This will fill in user name and password when you surf to a site. You can use it for free as long as you don't save more than 10 sites. It will work with Firefox as long as you install the adapter for it.

Answer 3

Spending 200 for a fingerprint reader isn't worth. in case you're looking some thing for loose that could safeguard your pc then try permitting the password authorization from the BIOS setup. it is enable by pressing the esc button or F1 button as quickly you initiate up your pc. **warning (Please memorise the password and write it someplace. in case you lose the password then in elementary terms the pc producer can unencumber your pc after your verification and that they're going to going to value some money too). So be very careful earlier placing the password interior the BIOS.

Let me put this as gently as possible, firefox sucks! Run both if you wish but my experience with firefox has not been "productive".
