Fingerprint Logon - It really won't work

MawfTech

Did anyone else out there realise that it's ONLY Lenovo laptops that are supported with fingerprint logon? I've been using the Utimaco products for years on many platforms and it's not until we were forced into switching from SG Easy to SGN that we ever had any issues with FPL. It turns out that only a very restricted list of readers are supported and all of those are ONLY on Lenovo's. See: http://www.sophos.com/support/knowledgebase/article/108789.html

What a HUGE oversite! Do they really think there's only one laptop manufacturer with biometrics.

    Hello Matt,

    fingerprint authentication today is still not standardized and diferent vendors all add their own flavours of mostly vendor specific software to it. To ensure customers get a good and compatible experience when combining fingerprint with full disk encryption, Sophos has decided to focus on the Lenovo models  for the time being, since due to our close cooperation with Lenovo, we can ensure interoperability on hard-and software level.

    We plan to support other models in future as standards progress in that area.

    best Regards
