No more passwords! Give 'em the finger!

I demoed a Microsoft Fingerprint Reader and I am very impressed! I was unimpressed with the marketing, but the product outperformed my expectations.

I found it extremely easy to setup and use. It replaced my Windows login with a Digital Persona login to enable fingerprint authentication, but it does not disable password authentication, just incase I forget my fingers in my other gloves or something.

You can record all of your fingers (maybe even a toe if you are really paranoid).

Complaint: It looks like it is going to work with Firefox and detects website logins to allow you to store your username/password information. However when you visit the site again the software tries to record another password instead of just logging in with the stored information.

However, all Internet Explorer logins seem to work and on multiple user systems you just walk up to the computer, press your finger against the reader and you are instantly logged on.

Fabulous product and Sam's club had them for $40, less than anyone else. If you are tired of remember the thousands of passwords we have today and you want to be able to use humanly impossible to remember passwords this is a great tool!
