Just out of curiosity, I went to see if it is possible to change to the typical 'home' way of logging into Windows instead of the domain-style logon where you have to type your username and stuff. If you really want to get into a certain computer or a computer in a company network, there are easier ways than to steal a fingerprint and fooling a fingerprint reader.Īnyway, after registering a few fingerprints, I moved on and entered Windows. (Yes, it's possible - make the person hold a clear glass cup, make a replica of their fingerprint, wrap it around your own finger, put it into a plastic mold and put some gummy bears into the mold) After all, it would take a lot of time and effort, and you will have to specifically target a person. To tell the truth, it's fairly hard to steal someone's fingerprint, make a mold and put the gummy bear in. After all, fooling the fingerprint reader with a gummy bear is not too much of a security risk. While that "test" is in every review (And for the same reason of it) I am not going to spend much time discussing this issue, and instead I'll write more about the features of this biometric security package. The Microsoft fingerprint reader uses the same fingerprint reader module as the U.are.U, so theoretically the performance should be identical.Īs most of the readers know, people have been fooling fingerprint readers with gummy bears for quite a while. The U.are.U 4000B read my fingerprint quickly correctly 90% of the time. For me, as long as you put your fingerprint flat and centered on the reader, it will read just fine. Digital Persona claims that the U.are.U 4000B can read fingerprints at different angles. It won't let me take screenshots at that screen so I'll have to use my digital camera. It is recommended to register more than one finger as it is possible that you might cut your fingers some other time. All you need to do is put your finger on the reader four times, and if the reading is good, you are good to go. I selected a finger from the on-screen image of a hand and registered the corresponding finger. Just as I was wondering if this program lagged down my computer like early versions of Windowblinds, a screen appeared on the screen and asked me to register my fingerprint for the first time.

Another thing I noticed was the Windows XP logo normally displayed has been replaced by Digital Persona logos.Īfter I typed my password and logged in (My fingerprints were not registered at this point yet) login took a little longer than usual. After a quick reboot the logon screen changed from the standard Windows XP logon screen to the domain-style logon screen.

The photo above compares the fingerprint reader to my Creative Zen Micro 5GB.Īfter taking a look at the fingerprint reader, I dropped the software and drivers CD into my DVD-ROM drive and began the installation. As this product is aimed at business and corporations, the design is perfect, where the look and size is just right. At home it might not seem as important, but in little cubicles and small desks in an office, space is just as important as profits.
The amount of space it takes may also be an issue. At first look, the DigitalPersona U.are.U 4000B does not fall behind to other products in terms of aesthetics. It gives the will-be buyer a good first impression. When it comes to computer peripherals and accessories, how visually appealing the product is counts almost as how useful it actually is. It's there to fill in the extra spaces in the box to prevent the product inside from sliding around. Just in case you wonder, there is nothing under the cardboard where the CD is resting on as you can see in the photo. The quick start guide proves to be fairly useful to first time users as some common questions are usually answered in there. Out of the box is the driver/software CD, the U.are.U 4000B fingerprint reader, a quick start guide and a regulatory information sheet. On the brighter side, no one took it just like last time, so I'll move on with my review. If you look closely at the photo, UPS is used for shipping, and if you wonder, yes, they did dropped it at my door and left just like last week with the Func sUrface 1030 Archetype we reviewed.
What you will get out of the box is the U.are.U 4000B fingerprint reader and the software package. This is a biometric security package designed for Windows-based networks.

No, I am not talking about a time machine - but today we'll be reviewing the DigitalPersona Pro for Active Directory. You've seen it in movies, but Digital Persona brought it to real life.
