5.0 out of 5 stars Makes securing and accessing your computer safe and simple, January 8, 2009

By	OCD Movie Fan (USA) - See all my reviews

My previous laptop had a built in fingerprint sensor, I became spoiled by the ease and security of just swiping my finger to log on. This product uses the same software that my laptop had, and I believe it's used by many computer manufacturers using fingerprint readers.

My current laptop a Toshiba Qosmio has face recognition that only works in bright light, even then it takes at least 10 sec. to "recognize" me. I gave up on it, too many bugs.

This reader plugs right into a USB port. When not in use, the connector plug recesses with the cover that protects the sensor, so it's extremely portable.

The one thing I've found, is I need to be careful with it sticking out of the USB port, I could see it being damaged if a heavy object were placed on the end of the reader with nothing under to support it, but the same is true with a flash drive.

I wish my laptop had a built in reader, or that the Toshiba's "new" technology worked properly, but this is an excellent substitute.

I've been using it for a couple of months now and haven't had any problems.

3.0 out of 5 stars We aware, January 5, 2009

By	Pablo Zawadzki "PZM" (CRC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this product because I want a fingerprint reader for my Mac. It works but only for the login password.

With the Mac version you cannot use it to enter passwords for internet sites.

4.0 out of 5 stars Times out quite a bit, May 3, 2009

By	Simon A. Robbie (Bradfordwoods, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Works great unless it times out. Much better than typing passwords. I probably should have bought the non-portable one as it's pretty much always connected to my work Mac.
