Hi all,

Recently upgraded my girlfriends lenovo 3000 N200 to windows 7 and an SSD giving it a new lease of life, It has an authentec fingerprint reader installed and im curious if anyone uses or could recommend a biometric password manager.

Something like keepass but using your finger as the master password?
Searching google has a lot of paid for software that i have not heard of, its not that i dont want to pay but all the software has reviews that sound like they were written by the software developers... which does not inspre confidence in a security app.

So if anyone has some experiance or knows a good open source application i would be happy to try it.

At work, I use the AuthenTec TrueSuite software with their fingerprint readers. The basic software that comes with some of the readers might be OK, you can always try it first, but I need the TrueSuite version because it can handle site log-ins that have three or more factors, like an account number, username AND password.

It's pretty compotent, although one of my fingerprint readers is giving me headaches... I think it's faulty. Anyway, I have no qualms spending $20 for the software. But I wouldn't call it security software as such, more like convenience software.
