Two people, same account, fiinger print login?

We've been trying to have both my wife and I setup fingerprint login to Windows on our same shared account, using Digitalpersona. I can scan one of my fingers and it won't accept one of her fingers as another fingerprint.
I guess we are doing this wrong? How do we set it up to scan either her or my fingerprint to access the same account?

thanks.

 

I think you can only set it up for one kind of fingerprint per account. Why not just use a password?

 

Thats what I thought. We have the password, just figured why not use this fancy finger print scanner. Thats ok.

 

I don't know about with the software/hardware you are using, but on both my Dell XPS and a Toshiba Satellite I used to have, they let me have up to 10 fingerprints per account. It actually required I used at least 2 fingers or it would warn me all the time.

 

I know VeriSoft lets you register 10 fingers for 1 account. Why not register half of those yourself and the other half your wife. I know my friend registered his girlfriend's finger as one of his prints so that she could get into the account.

 

Yeah, like stated above, most fingerprint reader software allows you to scan all 10 of your digits, but the program has no way to tell whether #7 was your pinky or your wife's index, so just mix it up a little.

 

Yeah, the software that came bundled with my dv9700t allowed for multiple fingerprints to allow access to one account.

 

Ohh....now it sounds like we can both use our fingers on one account.
She's at work today so we'll try again later.
Basically what I did initially was just by myself, I scanned both my index fingers, because it recommends two. When I had played with it and decided we should use it as its so simple I went and removed my right index finger and then it was freed up for her to add as hers, it was at that time as we then chose that finger and had her scan, you know the bit you have to scan 4 times succesfully, well it always ket giving us the red X no matter what finger she tried. I had to check her fingers for a finger print! Thats where we left it. She still has the password.
Like I said, I must have gone about something the wrong way....and I did originally have both my own index fingers, I removed one for her ot add one of hers, at that point I only had one finger print of my own on file as we treid to scan one for her....it never dawned on me at the time but was I supposed to have been scanning my own second print, not hers? Maybe it could tell a distinct difference between prints and knew that it was looking for something simialr to the one and only first one of myself, if you know what I mean?

I know it is simple enough, we just need to start over.

BTW its that digital Persona software.

 

Anybody here have a link to where I can dowload for VeriSoft finger print software , firmware I have. thanks for any help you all can give me, caspercaper

 

You are overthinking this thing.

The software gui that's displaying the 'finger' for you to enter doesn't care which finger you put in which spot. The assignment to 'right index finger' for example could just as easily be one of your pinkies.

All YOU have to do is remember which of your fingers gets into the account.

You register your fingerprints, she registers hers in any open slots.

 

This is also what I have and it is the digital Persona software. I click a finger on the little finger layout picture and swipe it 4 times until it is all good to go. Normally take more like 8 swipes. Good luck, post results!
