I use Dashlane for a password manager, and on a mobile device that has the fingerprint scanner, I can set my Dashlane after initial login, to afterwards ask for my scanned fingerprint instead of the master password every time. Do you use your password manager on your pc in your browser and if so does it support fingerprint scanning instead of asking for a master password to access logins on it? If so maybe this is an alternative way to use that reader more securely on a pc.
I have a request , can you do a comparison between the nuvision windows tablet and the amazon fire 7 inch ? To see which one is worth buying.
I use Roboform and it has trouble like that with websites that have the user name and password areas on different screens.
Thanks for bringing this device to our attention. I like where this system is going but, as you said it’s not quite there yet. Good point regarding the password manager as it’s not very functional if it doesn’t manage. Since you yourself do have a manager, do you print out the list of ids and passwords that you generate (and change) just in case the manager goes out?
Apple has stream lined this for all there devices and macs pretty much you can use your fingerprint for everything including websites and apple pay. o thats right windows doesn’t have a payment service like everyone else whoops …
Is it usb c?
Living in Philly makes me always think of Kensington as a bad thing.
Need one for my pc
I remember buying my first fingerprint reader from Compaq back in 2000 or 2001. I bet you don’t have one of those. It’s fairly easy these days to lift a fingerprint and then use a 3D printer to make a finger. Though it would be easier just to chop off finger, just kidding.
Hey Lon, does this work with LastPass?
Love your reviews. Quick no fuss. Full of details.
Lon, you activated my Google Assistant numerous times in this video. Strange lol
does this work with RDP? logging into multiple servers with this thing would be awesome i never have to remember any of the passwords or look them up. i can open even thing with my fingerprint
Seems like a nice sensor, but I wonder what would happen if somebody unplugged it and plugged it into a different computer.
He Lon, it would be great if you’d mention Linux compatibility with these kind of devices too. Maybe not that in depth as you do for Windows. but just a quick test. Boot up Ubuntu, plug it in and see if it’s working.
Thumb up for the finger print reader
Storing fingerprints on a PC seems like a bad idea. I think a better approach is for the fingerprint reader to store it securely with its only inputs being your fingerprint to store or verify, or reset to clear, and its outputs to be valid/invalid, and a keyed hash of your fingerprint.
Definitely looking into this product, great information like always . Thanks for sharing very useful..
$50!!!!!!!! just do a general search instead i got mine for €35 on amazon
I prefer a Iris scanner
If i were a thief, I would steal that sensor .
will it work for Mac?
This why I’m subscribed to this channel finding cool tech like this
Keep up the great work. Also I wonder if this would work via a USB OTG cable or something along those lines to add a fingerprint sensor to a phone that didn’t have one? Probably not really needed and would be more of an annoyance as most phones have them anyways and to have this hanging from your phone would get annoying but just a thought I had.
I can’t decide if it’s supposed to be an ease of use device or a security device. If it’s ease of use, it seems alright. If it’s security for the PC, you can just take the HDD out if it’s not encrypted.
