Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Eikon Digital Privacy Manager USB Fingerprint Reader
Customer Review: I'm absolutely delighted with this little device
Summary: 5 Stars
I did a lot of research before buying this product. Other devices I looked at were quite bulky and some other had serious software issues. Also the price tags on those devices was more than $100.
Accidentally, I came across UPEK web site and read technical docs about Eikon. I decided to give it a try. And here we go - this is the most helpful thing I ever had for my computer needs. Few main reasons why I like it:
1. The scanner did not give me a single error while using my finger. You just need to read a short page on how to scan a finger, and I bet you - you'll never have any problems.
2. Software that comes with a scanner is a real gem. They just released a new version (v5.8) that is available thru UPEK web site. Just email them and they will send you a link. The scanner comes with version 5.6 that is also very good. It is quite robust and allows you to register any web site (for online banking or shopping or discussion forums) that has user name and password on it. I'm using it for all my secure online transactions and emails. Never had a problem. The only time it won't work - when in order to get to your account you need to go thru several pages. For example, Bank of America and Amazon store credit cards are using this method when they ask you a username on the 1-st page and password on the 2-nd page and some other stuff on the 3-rd page. Of course, you can register multiple pages with Eikon one by one - but it's not that convenient compared to a single registration page. To summarize - Eikon is helpful in 98% of cases with web based password management. It also can capture software dialogs that use username and password. For example, the account settings in Outlook Express - you can save (manage) those using Eikon.
3. It works very good with windows logon and locks computer from unauthorized users.
I was so impressed with this tool that I bought a second one last week. I am highly recommending it to anyone who wants to use a powerful tool for secure password management and make all internet shopping and banking much easier and faster. No wonder UPEK are the guys who supply Sony, Toshiba, Asus and many other notebook manufacturers with built in fingerprint scanners for their laptops. You can check their web site for more info. Good work UPEK!!!! Thanks.
