Points to note about the Fingerprint Utility

Backups for saved fingerprint data and saved information in the PasswordBank can be performed in Import or Export User Data under Fingerprint Software Management. However, encrypted files cannot be backuped within Mysafe with this function. Recommended action is backing up encrypted files to external media with standard methods such as copying files.

If Windows XP’s file encryption function EFS (Encryption File System) is used to encrypt a file, the file cannot be further encrypted using the encryption function of this software.

If the fingerprint sensor and Trusted Platform Module (TPM) security are used as identification devices, install and configure the Infineon TPM Professional package first before configuring the fingerprint utility. Please refer to the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) Installation Guide for the installation and configuration methods for TPM.

In the help file, it is stated that this software's PasswordBank function can be used for the Internet and general applications. However, the Internet PasswordBank function in the fingerprint utility provided in this computer can only be used with IE (Internet Explorer).
