Fingerprint reader USB style!

MrDanne

Hi,

Got a couple of Lenovo desktops and laptops that are encrypted with SG.

I was looking for a fingerprint reader that connects via USB and are easy to access. It's not an easy task to find one.. but is there some USB reader that Sophos officially supports and works with SG?

Thanks

    Hi MrDanne,

    Below is our article on officially supported Fingerprint sensors for SafeGuard.

    I personally haven't seen any external USB sensors work, but if you can manage to get it going, go for it!

    Another question using biometric authenification with SG,

    I heard that LSH and biomeric auth can't be used at the same time, is that correct?

    We use 6.0.1 at the moment.
