Permalink: UPEK announces USB fingerprint reader for Macs

UPEK’s Eikon Digital Privacy Manager, which has previously been available for PCs, now supports Mac systems.

The USB-powered, biometric device reads fingerprints to provide authorised users access to password-protected applications.

After logging on, Mac users can unlock keychain, unlock secure preferences at admin-level settings, unlock file vault to decrypt home folders and unlock the screen saver, with just the swipe of a finger.

The Mac version of UPEK’s Eikon Digital Privacy manager is available now for download from the UPEK website as a preview version.

Customers need to buy the Windows version of the device, and can then download the Mac Preview to use the device on a Mac.
