Went and bought one of those Microsoft Finger Print readers. Been hearing about how nice they were for keeping passwords. I've tried some different programs for doing it and they were okay, but often got in the way wanting to fill in every blank on every ad.

This little gem works the way I want. If I want it to fill in a web page I put my finger on it. It pops up a box where I select what fields and fill in the info. Press OK and done. After that when I go to the webpage and need to log in a little icon appears up top right of the page next to the minmize button to let me know it has fingerprint login available. Put my finger on the slot and instantly I'm in. It seems to read correct fingers very well as well as rejecting the wife's quite nicely :) It has a fast user switching thing for multiple user machines that I would think is handy. Just walk up, ID your fingerprint and boom, it logs you into your account. Someone comes back, ID there fingerprint and it switches back to them.

Small footprint on resources too. I wish it had form fill in on command and a few other things, but it is only generation one. I'm sure it will improve as long as it doesn't go the way of Gamevoice.

Only $39 and now has a $10 rebate too. Kind of a cheap way to feed the gadget habit of mine.
