Good Product, Good Support by A. Patitucci (Anchorage, AK) 5 Stars
November 18, 2009
I have been using the Eikon fingerprint reader to login to my MacBook Pro for about a year now. I appreciate the convenience of just swiping a finger on the reader when those prompts for login password come up. Hopefully the planned integration of eikon Protecter Suite with 1Password will launch soon. This will enable the print reader for web logins. But as it is now it's worth the purchase price for me. Especially considering the really good support the company has provided. I had a serious login issue that turned out not to be related to the fingerprint reader software but they really investigated it to help me determine this. Thank you Eikon.

Great Product w/bad Software by R. Medved (Virginia)  4 Stars
November 15, 2009
If you are looking to purchase a finger print reader, this is a great product. It is well built and heavier then it appears. The photos might make you think it's made of cheap plastic but that couldn't be further from the truth. I've used other readers that just take a snapshot of your finger print. The Eikon does not, instead it scans the lines in your finger print and creates a mathematical file so your finger print is never stored. Rather then placing your finger on the device, you slide your finger across the scanner. A few times the scan didn't read, perhaps I swiped my finger to quickly or something but 99% of the time it works pefectly.
I use the product for simplifying my login needs for programs and websites. You can scan all your fingers and you can assign a specific program or website to load to an individual finger (IE: scanning my middle finger opens up Quicken). It only loads the program though so if the program is password protected, you will still have to scan your password finger to login. Nice feature but could be better had they allowed the program to open and execute the login all in one swipe. Besides programs and websites, you can store credit card info and you can of course use the reader to login to windows. Multiple users can create thier own database so this would be nice for people who share a computer or for a business where users have separate logins/passwords.
I rate this product a 4 star for one reason only... the software. Don't misunderstand, the software is great and has nice features. Once you create your database of programs/website logins, you can actually use the bookmarks in the software to login simplifying life a little more. Rather then loading your browser, going to a website, changing to the login screen and then scanning your finger, you just scan your finger and choose the website from your bookmarks and the program does everything else for you. The reason for my 4 star rating, the software is limited to only 3 website logins and you are forced to purchase a software license for $20 if you wish to have unlimited websites logins. Shameful tactics IMO. When you buy hardware, you assume you are going to get a full version of the software. It is worth the additional cost if you are like me and have 40 some odd websites you log into but I just hate being blind-sided. Sell two versions for Pete's sake... a dumbed down version and one for $20 extra that comes with the full software already. Sorry for the length of this review but the more you know before purchase, the better.
