Customer Review: Works with Win7 32Bit & Multi User!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am happy to report that this DOES work with Windows 7 32Bit version AND using Multiple users (as long as they use a different fingerprint).
This install was a bit tricky though, as the installer is a BLOCKED program in the Windows 7 Compatability database. HOWEVER, there is a perfect step-by-step "how-to" on a quick and easy was to fix that. [...] (Thanks blogfeld!)
After getting it installed, it was as simple as registering all the fingerprints and away it went! The kids use their own fingerprint for their own logins now!
Website logins work great too!
I don't use Firefox--it's a straight Windows 7 install with IE8.
Customer Review: Well worth the money!

I purchased this fingerprint reader for my husband as a Christmas gift. I had waited 3 months to get this and no store carried it any more, all of them said the popularity was not high enough for them to keep stocking any fingerprint readers. My husband has Epilepsy and this causes him to forget his user log-in name and password quite frequently. Becuase of this, he changes them all of the time, then can not remember them, then when I need to access an account, I can't. I was able to program one of my fingers as well as his and now either one of us can take care of anything on the computer. This is great for anyone who is suffering any kind of memory problems.Customer Review: This works really well!!

Got this for the kids computer so its easy to switch users. THis works very well and the software that comes with it makes logging into window or any website a snap. My only wish is that it doesnt work with the ComptureTime Software that we use to control how long each child is on the computer but thats because of ComputerTime's software.
I was really surprised how well this works compared to the finger print swipe devices I have on the hp laptops. This works ALL the time while you may have to swipe 2 or 3 times on the finger print swipe type devices.
If you are looking at biometric usb devices for Windows, would recommend this highly.
Customer Review: Fantastic Microsoft Product

We love the Microsoft Fingerprint Reader that was ordered. We have one on each of our home computer. No one can log onto our computers without the fingerprint reader accepting the logon and eventho I still have my passwords securely in print (just in case of an emergency or when I am traveling), I enjoy just placing my finger on the reader and it logs me into a website. I would not advise that you use the reader when logging onto banking websites but everything else is great. I don't think you will be unhappy by buying it for your home computer. You can also restrict websites for particular family members on the same computer.Customer Review: As good as the best.

I market professional and industrial security devices for computer, network and building access. This is as good as the top of the line security devices costing more than $200 more. I will agree that this is not for commercial use, i.e. programable interface, high level of lockout security.... but it is a great device for home and personal use.
It will respond and assist with login for all types of programmed access. In my browser, I can open my bank's web page and touch my finger to the reader and boom dada boom I am in. Even works for elderly people who tend to have less definition in their finger prints.
