USB Fingerprint Reader

A USB fingerprint reader is a computer gadget that remembers your passwords (to various web sites, for example) and secures your digital privacy. All that requires is a simple swipe of a finger.

Eikon Digital Privacy Manager (USB fingerprint reader)

What is it? It is a computer USB accessory which, upon swiping your finger, enables you to logon to a computer and access password protected web sites. In addition it has got a number of additional features outlined below.

What are the main features of this USB fingerprint reader? At the swipe of a finger, it can

log on to Windows when you first turn on the PC
lock and unlock your PC when you leave it unattended
access password protected web sites
allow Windows Vista User Account Control tasks requiring an admin password (e.g. software installation)
encrypt/open/decrypt a file or folder to protect important information from prying eyes
let you launch frequently used applications with specific fingers
let you switch between different Windows accounts (Windows XP or Vista)

How do you use it? The package comes with a USB fingerprint reader and a CD containing the Protector Suite QL software. To set it up and use it is easy:

Install the Protector Suite QL software.
Enroll your finger so the software knows that you are an authorized user.
Launch a pop-up menu ("Biomenu") by swiping your finger. The Biomenu lets you access the various features of the software e.g. register a username and a password for a web page etc.

You can see that it is really simple to use. Now instead of using simple or redundant passwords on multiple web sites, you can now choose complex passwords and let the Eikon Digital Privacy Manager remember them automatically. Next time you visit a site that you have already registered and you are prompted with a username and password request, simply swipe your finger and you are in!

The Eikon USB Fingerprint Reader has received very good reviews. This household gadget will make your internet shopping/banking/social networking experience much easier and faster. Think about it, most of us easily have twenty to thirty sites that we visit quite regularly requiring password access. So this USB finger print reader is going to be of real help. On top of that it protects your privacy at home or in the office!

Gift Idea: This is a nice gift for someone who enjoys surfing the web, posting messages in forums and sharing information with others on social networking web sites.
