    Hi,

    I recently purchased a D820, and I am having a heck of a time setting up the fingerprint reader. I installed the WAVE Embassy Security Center, and I have set it up so that it makes me swipe my fingerprint when I boot my computer up.

    I have read that I can use the fingerprint reader to log on to web sites. All I can make it do is automatically fill in my log on name and password, and it never asks me to swipe my fingerprint for that. I just click "fill and submit" and it fills it in, then I click "log in" and it logs in. Anybody that is around my computer could log in to any of my saved websites in my favourites in the personal information manager.

    Also, when I am navigating in the embassy security center, my fingerprint never seems to work. I always have to type my password because the fingerprint reader doesnt work (I mean when it asks me to either swipe my fingerprint or type my password).

    Can anybody help me?

    Thanks

    Jeff
