    Is there anyway to login completely with one swipe instead of having to press enter after password manager fills in everything?

    poke around in the fingerprint reader software. On mine, it logs in automatically w/o me having anything to do aside from swiping the finger over it. Maybe yours need some sort of setting enabled or something.

    Ther's an auto enter setting, but I'm not sure it works on websites. It works on Outlook. Load the password manager and edit the properties on the saved item to find the setting.

    BTW, the reason why you're not getting a lot of replies on this is that often it takes longer for the damn software to process your fingerprint and accept it than just typing your password and hitting enter. :)

    hit the auto enter checkbox before entering a password and it works on all my websites, however, facebook has problems since they use diff logon pages for different logon attempts...but hit that checkbox and 95% of the time, it works for websites

    The only time I've found that the auto login setting doesn't work is when I switch tabs in firefox, or change windows before the page is entirely loaded.

    Yes, I'm having a problem.

    I enter a username, then a password, then hit "submit" and the message 'do I want to save' comes up. I say yes, it prompts for a name, I name it, check the checkbox (if you don't check it, I don't know what its saving for, because it won't read you next time), it takes my print and logs me on. As far as I can tell (with very little experimenting so far), the next time time I go to log on Windows remembers and fills in the username (because I answered yes when it asked me the first time) and prompts for my fingerprint, then fills in the password.

    My problem was when I did this on a new site and my username was already used. I did it again for the second username, which was accepted, and the fingerprint software collected the second username and password. But when I tried to log on it used the first username and wouldn't allow a retyped username--it kept going back to the first one no matter how fast I tried to change the usermname to the second one.

    Then I went into the software and found two entries, but couldn't figure out which was the good one, so I deleted them both. Now when I go back to the site I get no prompt to enter the fingerprint software again. I guess I used up my chances...

    Can anyone direct me to some educational material for fingerprint technology?
