Product Description
The Eikon(TM) Digital Privacy Manager combines the award-winning Eikon USB peripheral fingerprint reader with the same Protector Suite QL software currently shipping on millions of notebook PCs today. The Eikon addresses the growing need for a simpler and more secure way to protect important personal information from threats such as phishing, password dictionary attacks, and malicious software. Rather than using simple or redundant passwords on multiple sites, PC users can now choose complex passwords and let the Eikon remember them automatically! For Mac users, the Eikon provides a quick and secure method of unlocking Keychain; which allows them to manage usernames and passwords, digital certificates, keys, and private notes. In addition to easier access to their growing number of password-protected web accounts, PC users also enjoy the following benefits by simply swiping their finger: 1) Respond to Windows Vista(TM) UAC requests to enter an administrator password for tasks such as software installations or configuration changes; 2) Quickly and Securely logon to a computer; 3) Lock/unlock a computer and rapidly switch between user accounts; 4) Launch favorite applications by assigning specific fingers for each one. The Eikon fingerprint reader won the prestigious Consumer Electronics Association (CES) Best of Innovations Award in 2007. The bundled Protector Suite for Mac and Protector Suite QL software is compatible with Mac Leopard and Windows Vista, XP Home and Professional, 2003 and 2000 operating systems respectively. WARNING: This product does not support Apple Open Directory. Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price: $54.99. Price at Amazon: $49.99.

Great looking, great working Fingerprint reader. I'm on a MAC. It sets up a beautiful fingerprint scan screen for login. It will also prompt you to swipe your finger when MAC normally requests a password. The program could use a password memory addition for other programs. Considering everything, I'd still purchase this product again. Recommended.
Works great on a domain! October 17, 2008

Several months ago I got a new laptop through work with a fingerprint reader on it and I became instantly sold on the technology. I thought it would be a simple thing to go get a couple of fingerprint readers for my home computers that my family could use to easily switch accounts. I went online and purchased a Microsoft reader with almost no prior research and was rewarded with a product that did not work at all for what I needed.
At this point, let me describe how I am using this:
1) My PCs all attach to a Windows domain - so I obviously need something that will log into a domain and the MS product doesn't even log into local accounts if the system is joined to a domain.
2) My kids all share a single computer and they log into it locally since I'm using the parental controls in Vista. So, I also need a product that will log into local accounts.
3) I don't run under an administrator account, so I wanted something that would also work with Vista's UAC.
After being disappointed with the Microsoft product, I did some research and found the DigitalPersona products. It is hard to describe how hard it is to get real answers for how their products work so I made the jump and bought one to evaluate it. Unfortunately, that turned out to be a very painful experience and I found out that it is possible to get burned by some of the Amazon merchants:(. Let me just point out here that I did talk to a tech support guy at DigitalPersona (through e-mail) and he actually recommended that I take the fingerprint reader back and get the Microsoft product unless I was willing to buy at least 10 licenses - at which point they would answer my questions.
At this point I was just about ready to give up when I stumbled across this Upek Eikon fingerprint reader. I ordered it, feeling somewhat skeptical, but was very pleasantly surprised.
I have really had no problems with this product, and found that:
1) It works for everyone in the family, right down to my 7 year old daughter with really small fingers. (I did limit their enrollment to their index and middle fingers on both hands because they had problems getting a good read on the remaining fingers - adults don't seem to have that problem.)
2) It works equally well with active directory accounts as with local accounts.
3) It works very well with user switching - I just swipe my finger when another user is logged in and it switches to my account.
4) It works great with UAC (User Access Control) in Vista. It makes the technology almost bearable.
5) The software is very easy to use and to understand.
I feel like I've rambled on long enough but I'm not sure this product description really does it justice. It is half the price of the comparable DigitalPersona products (that don't work) - and it really works perfectly!
The only area I won't comment on is the password manager stuff since I really haven't set that up. At some point I will, but I mostly was looking for a good way to log into Windows.
I highly recommend this product.

I have this product built-in my laptop and it was good to know that there is a similar one that I can use for my desktop. It works as advertised, no hassle, easy to use. The best feature I liked most is the ability to "register" IDs and passwords. I just wished they had a cover for the device when it is not in use so it does not accumulate dust. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product.
