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. Microsoft has beaten Apple to delivering a wireless keyboard with biometric security. Its new Modern Keyboard is built out of aluminum to be slim and strong and features a hidden fingerprint. A new iOS and accompanying Mac app make it possible to unlock your computer using Touch ID, even if Apple hasn’t yet put a fingerprint sensor on its computers. Apple’s addition of Touch ID to the iOS lineup has proven hugely popular, especially since it allowed third-party developers to also hook their apps into the fingerprint sensor. Fingerprint Reader works in OS X!!!!! #1 Post by Springdale » Mon May 12, 2008 3:08 am This is great news as fellow thinkpad users will now be able to use the finger print reader in OS X!
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.
Application[edit]
64-bit Windows[edit]
The Microsoft Fingerprint Reader[6] may be modified to work with 64-bit Windows.[7]
Firefox browser[edit]
The reader works with Firefox using the FingerFox Add-on.
