    When I first got my U1, whenever I visited a website with a logon form (i.e. email) Asus's SSO software would prompt to remember the logon credentials so that I could later sign on to the website by swiping my finger and selecting the site from a list of saved credentials. Now the software doesn't prompt me to remember the credentials anymore, nor can I record any credentials manually. Can someone tell me how to configure the software so that it automatically detects credentials and offers to record them? Thanks!

    Sorry, not quite on topic, but why not save the logon credentials using the browser? Anyway noone can login into the OS without the fingerprint (I presume...). IMHO it seems a bit overkill to use complex security like requiring fingerprints for remembering every little password.

    Well, the security software saves all your logons in one list, so it would be nice to swipe my finger to access whatever I need, rather than independently browse to each site separately.

    Not really for security... more for convenience.

    Edited to add: The "vault" of the ASUS Security Protect Manager remembers all your passwords, and some sites (like my credit card account, bank account, etc.) require very sophisticated passwords (must have 1 capital, 1 lower case, 1 symbol, 8 letters, or w/e). Swiping your finger will allow you to see all the passwords saved in the system. It would be nice to have a program remember all these passwords, whereas the browser won't reveal the password if you somehow forget them.
