    Anyone know how to get te fingerprint reader to work with firefox or keepass?
    Example:
    When firefox prompts with the password manager, I want to be able to swipe my fingerprint instead of typing in the password.
    When keepass prompts for master password, I want to be able to do the same thing.
    The fingerprint reader looks like it works with the UPEK protector suite, so maybe if I get the addon from that for firefox it might work?

    I did some reasearch, seems like I need client security solutions and a patch for firefox 4 in order for it to work. Problem is that neither officially supports the X220, so I would like to hear people's opinion on this,
