    What fingerprint reader / password manager software should I use for logging into websites with fingerprints?

    This is for my Sager NP9752 running Windows 8.1. Preferred web browsers are IE and Chrome. I was able to setup the fingerprint reader to login to Windows but I can't identify any drivers or software for web browsing.

    I appreciate any recommendations.

    Google disabled the sideload of fingerprint software that worked with chrome. Authentec was bought by apple so don't know if we will get anything official. I think there might be something that still works with Firefox but you will have to look up that on your own.

    I dont mean to hijack this thread but what options are available for the biometric fingerprint scanner software? Sager's driver website shows none thats available for the most recent Clevo machines.

    Has anybody seen if protector suite is compatible with this? Doubt it is though.
