Eikon Digital Privacy Manager (USB fingerprint reader) - works with Firefox, Windows Vista, and now Mac

I caused myself a few problems when I installed this device two weeks ago, but they're all straightened out now. More on that below ...

First I want to say that the Eikon has solved my online security concerns. It's also easy to use, and easy to learn to use, too. I especially appreciate the very secure "Password Bank" in which you can review all of your passwords. Navigation through the software is transparent and simple. But first you have to take a little time and learn how it works.

I rushed into using the Eikon, and tried to do too many new things at the same time. First, I bought a new computer. Then, I installed the Eikon. Finally, I changed passwords on my most sensitive sites.

Of course, my secure sites didn't recognize my new computer, and with me immediately changing passwords, some balked. I worked it all out.

All an Eikon user needs to do is practice a bit on some unimportant sites requiring logins, and soon you'll be cruising.

The "swipe your finger" function is soooooo reliable - no tricks need to be learned, and it's more difficult to miss a swipe than to get it right. My wife, however, hates all electronic things new to her, and having her enter her prints was like asking her to pet a scorpion. She's fine with it now, though, and actually, "swiping" is as complex as brushing the tip of your nose with a fingertip.

I recommend the Eikon!

Just got this product and am really pleased I also have roboform so plan to use in conjuntion had no problems registering fingerprint scans. seems to be working fine. only thing that is a problem is the long wire attached for a laptop a smaller wire would have sufficed.

This product is absolutely fantastic for the following reasons.

1- Can be used with internet explorer or firefox.
2- Very easy to scan your fingerprint and no matter what anyone says it seems near impossible not to get the sensor to read your print.
3-It populates the fields and then signs you into the website, no need to hit enter.
4-It stores all of the websites which can be selected from a drop down list rather than having to navigate to the site (though you can do either)
5-It sets up a virtual volt on your computer where you can store files protected by the fingerprint.
6-It has a blue LED which looks real cool.
7-You can export the data to another computer using a flash drive so that you do not have to reenter the data again.

I cannot see any negative about this product other than it is not compatible with all other browsers.

All in all an amazing product which saves you time,worry and hassle by remembering all your usernames & passwords.

I must tell you that I was searching high and low for a fingerprint reader that was compatible with Vista 64 Bit systems. This was the only one (in my price range) that did what it was supposed to do. I no longer need to remember passwords anymore. After the software is installed, you need to record your fingerprints. You can do just one or all 10. In case you are worried that your fingerprints could be "stolen", don't be. They are in a format that cannot be reproduced or copied. When I come across a web-page that needs a logon and/or password, all I need to do is swipe my finger across the reader and, if any of the fingerprints are a match, voila, your in! The error rate reading my fingeris almost 0%. You got additional members using the computer? No problem, they can be added. If you want, you can use the finger reader to logon at startup. Also, sensitive files can be encrypted onto the hard drive, (tax returns,SS numbers etc.). If you are concerned about this product not working for whatever reason (and you cannot log in), don't worry about it, you can still log-on "the old fashioned" way. There are no moving parts. I cannot see any way that it would ever fail. Two thumbs up for this product!!

The statement on the package and on their website says: "free yourself from passwords" and everyone reads also the "it works with MAC", so what to expect?

OK it doesn't work with passwords.
Only with the login.
This is enough.
Apple users beware.

I am also wondering why no one even at Macworld - see their ad about this - didn't care to say a word.
Now back at asking my money back.
