History[edit]

First released on September 4 2004,^[3] this device was supported by Windows XP and Windows Vistax86operating systems.^[4] It was discontinued shortly after Windows Vista was released.^[5]

Functionality[edit]

The Fingerprint Reader's software allows the registration of up to ten fingerprints per device. Login names and passwords associated with the registered fingerprints were stored in a database on the user's computer.

On presentation of an authorized fingerprint, the software passes the associated login names and passwords to compatible applications and websites, allowing login without a keyboard. If the software finds that the particular fingerprint does not match one it its database, it declines the access.

Application[edit]
