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.

 Works as stated August 29, 2008

This makes verifying the user so much easier. Works great on a Mac. Fast user switching really is FAST!
Very handy device. August 17, 2008

I have one of these fingerprint scanners on my laptop at work, and use it daily. I liked it so much that I did some searching, found, and bought the Eikon for use with my desktop PC at home. It works just as advertised, and makes it super simple to log on to both your computer and on to websites. Amazon had by far, the best price, and coupled with the free shipping and great service we've all come to expect from Amazon, it was a deal that couldn't be beat.
Eikon Fingerprint Scanner August 13, 2008

I purchased the Eikon Privacy Manager fingerprint scanner to use with my MacBook Pro. The software install was quick and easy with no problems using Mac OS-X.5.2. Also, configuring the software was a snap, choosing whichever digit I wanted was super easy, and adding other users is available, too.
I selected this device based on my need to keep my data secure from prying eyes and have found that it does exactly what it is advertised to do on my laptop.
The single issue that has arisen is that I still, sometimes, forget to plug in the scanner module before starting the laptop. When I do this, it offers me the regular sign-in process or a chance to retry with the scanner inserted. That is my fault entirely and I am trying to make it my regular startup procedure to plug in before starting up.

Eikon Digital Privacy Manager (USB fingerprint reader) - works with Firefox, Windows Vista, and now Mac
I don't know how well this works with Windows but to say it is made for Macs is a farce. Macworld magazine recommended it and that confuses me. I called Upek and they admitted that it's "not as useful" for Macs. I asked if they had plans to improve and update the Mac function. He said probably but he's not sure when. This is not good enough for me. I got a refund.
Works Flawlessly, No complaints. August 3, 2008

This product is excellent. Works exactly as described for windows pc's. Integrates seamlessly into Vista and software update to make compatible with Firefox 3 was released a day after Firefox released the new version. Encryption is quick and easy and works with any and all password fields including ones not in a web browser. For example, works with passwords in Excel and Adobe Acrobat.
I have no complaints other than I wish I bought this long ago. Easy to use, easy and quick to setup, accurate when reading fingerprint. None of this swipe again nonsense.
A definite convenience and reliable product. Another plus is, it is small enough to carry around with a laptop but big enough for large fingers.
