If you use the fingerprint authentication to unlock stored encrypted passwords in the web browser (Firefox can do that allright) then even key logging won't be much of a problem Since all fingerprint authentication happens internally on the device, no data passing through to the host computer at all, no way the host computer could interfere with the authentication process or sniff any details about it Horst _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
