Lenovo USB Fingerprint Reader (41U3167)

Your passwords at the tip of your fingers. The Lenovo USB Fingerprint Reader allows you to gain access to confidential files with the swipe of a finger, quite than having to understand that and type in different passwords for many applications. The Fingerprint Reader is small, so is ideal for trip and for the usage of on your limited desk space. With this biometric solution to authentication you’ll choose to have the convenience of simple fingerprint authentication only, or configure for some of the safe log-in processes available. This additional security is achieved when the Fingerprint Reader is used along side the embedded security chip and ThinkVantage Client Security Solution software, available on select models of ThinkCentre desktops and ThinkPad notebooks, configuring to require both fingerprint and password authentication. When active, the embedded security chip requires the user to type in a passphrase once per boot up, despite the fact that the system is configured for fingerprint authentication only. Non-embedded security chip models can be configured for fingerprint only authentication that does not also require typing in a passphrase. This configuration offers convenience, but security is not significantly better than the usage of typed passwords only.
