I’m just saying that using a fingerprint instead of a password is definitely a more secure option. I am not saying this is impossible, as we are all familiar with biometric bypass techniques. While passwords are easy to figure out, getting your biometric information is much tougher. Logging into your Windows computer using your fingerprint is definitely a step up in security for every PC user. Recording your fingerprints for the first time is a no-frills procedure which will take just a couple of minutes of your time. The USB reader works immaculately – in over three weeks of usage, fingerprint recognition was 100% successful.

Just follow the screen instructions and plugin the USB device when needed.Īfter a successful installation, you need to do some initial customization to generate your user profile.
The installation is pretty straightforward. The company is selling the software application both as a standalone product and as a “Premium” package that contains the fingerprint reader (as previously mentioned). The application is installed using the software CD included in the product box. The software version I have used was DigitalPersona Personal 4.0 running on a Windows XP PC.Ĭurrently, DigitalPersona Personal software works just on Windows operating systems. The application I have tested came bundled with the company’s U.are.U 4500 Reader – a small, yet powerful USB fingerprint reader. DigitalPersona Personal is a software solution aimed to home and small office users. Since 1996, DigitalPersona delivers products that enable commercial enterprises, hardware OEMs, software ISVs and consumers to use fingerprint biometrics to secure their identities.
