Re: Fingerprint folder lock

Why not just set you computer to not boot unles you swipe your finger?

check with the software provider that has the reader driver in your system for added functionality

Re: Fingerprint folder lock

Hi Arek,

Yes there are hundreds of ways of securing your private stuff, Im just not sure you will find one working with your fingerprint scanning software unless it was included with it...


Would you consider other alternatives for encryption or password file protection?

Re: Fingerprint folder lock

There are lots of programs and ways to hide important files...If you have Gmail you can use GDrive to store all your documents from a hard-drive connected to your online account making them accessible anywhere you login...

I dont know what software you would like to use but heres one you might like...
My Lockbox - Files and Folders Password Protection - Hide Folder, Lock Folder, Password Protect Folder - FSPro Labs

Re: Fingerprint folder lock

What about GDrive? viksoe.dk - GMail Drive shell extension

You can never lose your documents using GDrive if you ever forget the password or computer gets stolen..

Try it out and let me know
