Microsoft Fingerprint Reader Mac Os X
The fingerprint scanner works perfectly when you stay on Mac OS X Mountain Lion. When you upgrade it is even advised to remove the Authentec Truesuite software first, since this could lock you out of the system after the upgrade. The Eikon To Go is the first truly portable fingerprint reader designed for consumers and the only reader that supports the current Mac OS. The reader utilizes the same software and sensor.
Microsoft Fingerprint Reader was a device sold by Microsoft, primarily for homes and small businesses. The underlying software providing the biometrics was developed by Digital Persona.
Fingerprint readers are more secure, reliable and convenient than a normal traditional password,[1] although they have been subject to spoofing. A fingerprint recognition system is more tightly linked to a specific user than, e.g., an access card, which can be stolen.[2]
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.
