Fingerprint access questions

[nemo]

I`m a new (and proud!) thinkpad owner. I have a couple of questions for the fingerprint feature..

1. Is it possible to enable fingerprint access only during booting
[BIOS level] my Thinkpad and get rid of the windows logon password?

2. Can I use the fingerprint reader to enter website passwords?

My thinkpad is a T43.

Thank you.

Hi

Yes you can use fp in every fill-in field when Client Security Solution is installed.
Just install and read. It´s easy to use....

Search on fingerprint logon, there are recent threads that discuss this.

Essentially ... register 2-3 fingerprints, use for power-on logon, enable power-on logon, and then (in Client Security Solution), "Change logon settings" (in Advanced options) to use the power-on password/fingerprint. But this means that s/he who clears the power-on on is automagically logged on.

seems to be right as long as you use the right software. e.g. i didnt get css to work with a simple HTTPAuth-Window in firefox. or passing passwords to PuTTY sessions seems not to be possible as well...

CSS has trouble differientiating name and password fields in Firefox, but I'm happy with Firefox's way of pre-filling those fields with its password manager. IE, it does work, thank heavens, because IE wants you to start typing to recall an entry -- big whoopee.

I didn't think it would work in terminal programs. For that, I use scripted terminal programs which automate login. YMMV.
