Long before Apple’s Touch ID technology, there was this Microsoft Fingerprint Reader for Windows XP, which was released in 2004. Some of you may have even purchased this accessory, but did you know that the underlying software providing the biometrics was actually developed by Digital Persona?
The Microsoft Fingerprint Reader is compatible with Windows XP as well as Windows Vista, and the software allows users to store up to ten fingerprints per device. Usernames and passwords associated with the registered fingerprints were stored in a database on the user’s computer. When a fingerprint is authorized, the software passes the associated login names and passwords to compatible applications and websites, thus eliminating the need for a keyboard when logging in. It was discontinued shortly after the release of Windows Vista in 2007.
