    Anyone know of any good fingerprint reading software which allows you to save and automatically log into websites, and create shortcuts?

    I tried using HP SimplePass 2011, but even after enrolling fingerprints and username accounts, it doesn't always show up when I'm on a website with a login.

    If anyone has any solutions to tweak SimplePass, that would be helpful too!

    Thanks.

    i think Simplepass is pretty adequate, ive assigned various other finger prints to different website, and it works pretty well. but i never use it :p

    just find the program in the start menu, and customize it any way you want

    Well, the pretty much only reason I don't like Simplepass 2011 or use is the requirement to login on a registered site.

    Takes way too many cancels before it let me by ... once.

    HP Simplepass doesn't work well with Firefox or Chrome. For example, if I have a username and password for ebay saved on simplepass, the finger print swipe option does not show up in firefox when it comes time to login. Which makes the software pretty useless.

    Have you updated it? I thought an update came out a week or two ago for IE9 and Firefox.

    If simplepass is a digitalpersona software like on the business HP laptops, you can probably use FingerFox to make the reader work with Firefox.

    The default version for the 61xx series is 5.1. Within the last few weeks, HP has released 5.3 which specifically addresses Firefox and Chrome issues.

    I recommend Roboform. It works with fingerprint readers if you turn on biometric support. Awesome solution.
