DON'T MISS

UPEK announced today that their Eikon Digital Privacy Manager now supports Mac systems. The USB powered fingerprint reader allows Mac users to swipe their fingerprint to access password-protected applications. UPEK says that Mac users can now logon at startup and when returning from sleep, unlock keychain, unlock secure preferences at admin-level settings, unlock file vault to decrypt home folders and unlock the screen saver all with the swipe of a finger.

The Eikon Digital Privacy manager started shipping last May for PC users for $39.99. Now the device supports MacOS 10.4 Tiger as well. The Mac version is available now for download from the UPEK website as a preview version. You will need to buy the Windows version of the device, then download the Mac Preview to use the device on your Mac. No support is currently provided for the preview (beta) Mac Protector Suite.
