The Upek Eikon Digital Privacy Manager reader is a portable, digital fingerprint scanner that can be used for various security-related tasks on your computer.
'Passwords are a Pain', a slogan on Upek's website, is a sentiment that most people would agree with. Necessary, but awkward parts of our modern digital life.
An alternative way of identifying a unique user is the fingerprint scanner. Formerly the domain of science fiction, the means to securely and accurately identify an individual by their fingerprints on a PC is now upon us.
The Upek Eikon Digital Privacy Manager reader itself is a neat tabletop widget little bigger than a pack of chewing gum, with a shallow curve along which you can run the underside of your fingertip. Once the software is installed, the enrollment process asks you to register one or more fingers, a process that asks for each finger to be recorded three times for consistency.
