Why We Like It
Because you’ll never need to remember a password again!
Summary
Okay, okay so "let your finger do the talking" is a little bit of a cliché but come on, the Eikon Digital Privacy Manager lets you past all your password protected applications with just a swipe of your finger. We know what you’re thinking but a fingerprint is actually much more secure than typing in your collection of passwords. You can make your passwords as difficult as you like and then your unique fingerprint does the rest when you want to enter password protected sites. Lets make this fact clear again – nobody else has your fingerprint so your passwords are safer than a diamond in a bank vault.

Manufacturer's Description
Passwords are a pain. We’re forced to use passwords to access our online personal accounts and applications (banks, credit cards, email, etc.). We even have passwords for logging into Windows and allowing tasks prompted by Vista’s User Account Control. All this results in countless different passwords that are hard to manage. How often do you rely on the "Forget password?" link to have your password emailed?
Passwords are vulnerable. In order to cope with countless different passwords, we often write them down on sticky notes or in a spreadsheet. Using a common password offers thieves a one–stop–shop for the keys to your accounts, while using simple passwords are susceptible to remote hacking.
Access at your fingertips. Accessing your personal accounts is now as simple as swiping your finger. Now that you don’t have to remember or enter passwords, you can create strong passwords (long and complex) that are replayed when you swipe your finger – making your accounts more secure.
Nervous about using fingerprints? Relax. Your fingerprint image is not stored. Only a handful of unique features called a "template" are extracted from your fingerprint and cannot be used to reconstruct an image. The point is: a fingerprint image cannot be used to "spoof" a UPEK fingerprint reader.
