I upgraded my P1610 to Vista and as result Omnipass, the program distributed by Fujitsu to manage the security with the help of the integrated Authetec fingerprint reader, was not working any more. One of my readers at todoUMPC  recommended me Biocert Intelligent Identity Manager, a program distributed with a different name and in a lite version version by HP.

I have to confess that I downloaded the lite version from HP web site and that, the recommendation of my friend and the low price of just $29.95 helped me in the final decision to pay for the program. And I’m saying this because this one of those cases of a company losing many potential customers because they do not offer a demo or trial of their wonderful program. I know that they may be making a lot of money from the free version distributed by HP but come on… today they are $29.95 richer.

Using this program you can manage the username and password to all your programs and webpages, and believe me, the fingerprint reader used with this tool becomes perfect tool and save you a lot of time. In addition this program includes an e-Wallet, a feature that keeps your Credit Card information that can be used in any online store.

Conclusion

The program perfectly works in my P1610. Another good point is that it works with Firefox and the price is fair, OmniPass cost almost 60 dollars and seems to me heavier from the point of view of the amount of system resources it uses. Biocert is a little bit more confuse than Omnipass but once you learn how to use it you will love it. At least that was my experience.

    Thanks James!
  • As the President and CEO of Artemis Solutions Group (ASG Global) - the owner of the BioCert trademark - I wish to thank you for your kind article about the BioCert IDentity Manager. We are very proud of this program and the feedback we are getting from customers.

    I must point out a few facts about our version of this software. While, yes, you are correct that our version (BioCert IDentity) and HP's product are based upon the same original software "codebase", there are some major differences between the versions.

    Our version of the software is more full-featured and offers the additional capabilities of file or folder encryption, multiple user login, network and VPN login, multi-factor authentication capabilities and an administrative control panel which offers a finer detail of the settings available to the user.

    The version from HP is a "lite" version that only supports single user login and sso for the operating system that ships with the PC. So, if a customer orders a PC with VISTA and changes the OS to XP or Vista Business, HP has to this point not been willing to give the customer the version for any other version of the operating system than was shipped with the system from the factory.

    The integration of the advanced encryption capabilities is only one of the principle reasons we do not offer a "demo" of this application. If someone were to encrypt their files using a "demo" application with a 30 day time-lock on it, when the time ran out, they would lose the ability to recover any encrypted files (whether on the local device or on removable storage) stored with the demo. Additionally, we sort-of consider the limited versions being shipped by the PC manufacturers as a trial demo of our full featured version.

    We are very pleased that we are able to offer the BioCert IDentity software as an upgrade from the basic HP software or for any computer that has the Authentec 1610 or 2501 integrated within. We believe for our price of $29.95 the customer is receiving a tremendous value over and above what is provided by the PC manufacturers.

    Thank you again for your kind words and your informative article.

    Sincerely,
    James Childers
