Fingerprint reader help

#1 Post by jls944 » Fri Jan 13, 2006 3:13 pm

I'm trying to enter in some website login and passwords to my fingerprint software but it doesnt seem to be working. This is what I tried - Opened the create a new password, entered the login, dragged the arrows to the correct field in the website, clicked in a new cell in the website, entered in the password and dragged it to the correct field in the website and then clicked save. After doing this and going to manage passwords, it only shows the password, not the login. How come its not showing both my login and password for the website? Also, how do you create it so you can launch the website because the launch button is grayed out? Please help!! Thank you.

Are you using a non IE browser like firefox?

CSS 6.0 Password manager seems to work properly only with IE. I use firefox and feel your pain, but it's a small inconvience to put up with imo for the better web browser.

You could consider 'pwsafe' (a password manager created by Bruce Schneier originally) http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/ or use one of the firefox extensions on password management.

Or do what I do, and just let it remember passwords.

Ditto.

... Here's what I do ... browse to the page where I need to login ... CTRL + SHIFT + G to launch the app ... it asks, "Huh? do you wanna create a new one?" I click yes ... type my password in the CSS window, THEN drag the crosshairs to the field in Firefox/IE ... click OK in CSS for save new entry ... a new dialog box asks, "Wanna save an ENTER, too?" I click yes ... and it's saved.

Now, Firefox remembers passwords ANYWAY, but CSS adds a little bit more security. It's also nice, for consistency, to remember that if I'm logging into my bank, it's CSS that's remembering my password, not the browser. YMMV.

Saving passwords is fine in firefox. But I think he wanted to save the login field as well so that you could just go to a page, pull up CSS and all your login/password details would be entered.

That works fine under IE 6, but I can only get it to save the password in firefox 1.5.
