August 8, 2007; 03:15 AM Have you ever been stuck in front of your computer wondering which
password you used on a website? Do you have a Post-it note on your
monitor with all of your Internet passwords because they're all too
complicated to remember? These days are now over: with A&H
Software's FingerAuth Password Manager you can enter your passwords on
Mozilla Firefox with just the touch of your finger.
By using an
ordinary fingerprint reader, you simply touch the reader with any
finger and the software will enter the information for you instantly,
instead of filling in all of the fields of a login page. The program
runs on Windows 98 or newer and is freely available for a 30-day
evaluation at http://www.fingerauth.com/.
"FingerAuth fills a
gap in password-related extensions for Firefox: the simpler solutions
are limited, and the complete solutions aren't convenient or easy to
use," says Belarmino de Camargo, the product manager responsible for
the program.
In order to log in with your fingerprints, you
register them once with the program. When you touch the reader with a
finger, FingerAuth Password Manager compares the scanned fingerprint
with the ones already registered by you to verify your identity. Once
it's confirmed, and only if so, your login information, such as your
user name and password, is submitted to the website.
"After some
hours checking my e-mails, accessing my Orkut and logging in to forums
by just slapping my finger over the reader, I can't stand typing all
those passwords anymore," says Moacir Soares, who participated in the
beta- testing phase of the product.
FingerAuth Password Manager
runs on Windows 98 or newer and is freely available for a 30-day
evaluation at http://www.fingerauth.com/. At the website users can also
instantly purchase a registration code for only US$30 to unlock all of
the program features and receive priority technical support.
