Protect your Mac with a phalange (finger)
If you love unlocking your iPhone or iPod Touch with your finger, you can now have that same functionality on your Mac for only $50.00. A new device from UPEK called the Eikon Digital Privacy Manager provides security for your Mac with the swipe of a finger. It can be used to log into your Mac, unlock the screen saver, and perform other password functions, such as confirming an install. One thing I find particularly interesting is that it can be used to speed up fast user switching. This is great for people who love to have that added security to their Mac and like the idea of fingerprint security.
Better yet, this device can also be used on Windows with Boot Camp and camp help perform UAC tasks. And with all those security alerts in Windows, we all know how time saving that can be. It also allows you to scan any and multiple fingers in case you somehow cut a certain finger. It actually looks really cool and convenient, I might have to pick one up myself. They can be bought at Amazon.
