    Hey I just got me new laptop which has fingerprint reader built in. Its a dv2500t series.

    I currently use the fingerprint reader to log on but thats it. I want to use it for all my passwords on FireFox. i.e GMail.

    Are there any extensions/programs that are compatible with Windows Vista Ultimate (64-bit)?

    I currently use VeriSoft for logging on..

    Not that I am aware of and I have been looking for awhile. If you come across anything like this advise. Wven with the Dell, I use the thinkpad UPEK drivers for log on/off by fingerprint.

    I know for thinkpads, we have this program called client security solution that has a password manager, stores all website passwords which you access only with a finger swipe..kinda cool

    Verisoft is usually already doing this for Firefox. There are some options in verisoft that say something like "monitor web pages for password entry". If you enable that, it should pop up every time you try to enter a password.

    I disabled it because it doesn't seem to work very well, but you might have better luck.
