Points to note about the Fingerprint Utility
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).
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 is backing up
encrypted files to external media with standard methods such as copying
files.
