passwords replacement by fingerprints / authorization with Fingerprint / Fingerprint login on the computer / Fingerprint login on a website

No more Codes or passwords
Did you know that 82 percent of the passwords or of the access data are jotted down on post-its and are therefore also available for non-authorized users? An ekey innovation makes passwords superfluous. Thanks to ekey logon, passwords are replaced by fingerprints. Thus security and convenience are increased, and forgetting passwords is a thing of the past.

A solution for companies
Both for login on the computer itself as well as for login on a website, fingerprints replace elaborate passwords. „It is thus more simple, convenient and secure to secure your computer. Passwords can be quite easily spied out, guessed or stolen. Biometric data are unique. ekey logon encrypts and saves securely the fingerscan. It checks it then in a flash“, explain Mr. Keldorfer and Mr. Gallner.

ekey logon functionality
The user registers his fingerprint locally with the help of the ekey USB fingerprint reader or through the integrated scanner, which many of the current business notebooks feature. This scan is then encrypted and saved locally as a binary code. From then on, solely the registered user has access to his computer. The user does not log in with his password anymore, but simply, conveniently and securely with his fingerprint. If the data match those of the saved original, then within bits of seconds the user has access to his computer – the screensaver is unlocked. „ekey allows for the first time ever one to experience security on the computer“, emphasizes Mr. Keldorfer.

For the first time ever can companies experience and afford security
„Thanks to this easy-to-operate solution by ekey, many companies will finally be able to implement security and thus definitely close the computer access security breach“, explains Mr. Gallner.

The total costs of purchase for a company with 100 users and 60 pc-workstations amount to 5000 euro and include scanner, software and licenses. ekey logon offers convenience for the user and simplifies the implementation of end-to-end security regulations. All the passwords are replaced by a finger. Moreover, the administration costs and the expenses for the password reset by system administrators are significantly lower.
