Help with fingerprint reader Hi, I got a laptop with DigitalPersona software for the fingerprint reader. Now it works great with logging in and stuff. But it gives me problems with firefox in general. Also when I want to use it to log into facebook, I would try set it up, but it would always select the wrong username fields, and doesnt recognise the password field. HELP!! If you go to the facebook login, you will notice there is the username and password aread at the top, and the fields for becoming a member at the bottom.. IT ALWAYS SELECTS THE BOTTOM FIELDS, so its a bit weird. Please help! | My System Specs |

With Facebook, you have to be a bit creative to add its login to DigitalPersona fingerprint system. You have to do this only once, afterwards you can then use your fingerprint to login.
First, leave email and password fields empty and click Login.
New window opens telling about incorrect login credentials.
On this page you can setup fingerprint login normally.

Hi, great for the help, but then still each time i would have to go to the screen of the second screenshot you sent to log in? Because i did what you had said, but it still doesnt work at the regular facebook homepage, or did I do something wrong?

OK, let's try this: - Login to Facebook normally
- Click Profile
 - Copy the address from browser's addressbar
- Logout from Facebook
- Paste the copied address to the addressbar, hit Enter
- Now you should arrive to a normal login screen. Click DigitalPersona symbol (top left) and choose Add New Account for facebook.com:
 - Click Choose Fields
- Choose the fields marked yellow in this image (illogical, I know):
 - Click OK. Type your username (email) to field Forgot your password and your password to field Undetected Title:
 - Click OK
Please notice Facebook seems to use two different login pages, depending on how you enter Facebook. You should register both ways to DigitalPersona. Do as I told in my earlier post to register fingerprint for this login page:
Doing as I told in this post post you also have registered your fingerprint when this login page appears:
Good luck!
Kari P.S. Because of you, I did something I had sworn never to do: I registered a Facebook account, to be able to test this. Though the account is already deleted, I feel I need a whisky or two to overcome this feeling and to forgive you... | My System Specs | | Computer type Laptop System Manufacturer/Model Number HP ENVY 17-1150eg OS Windows 7 x64 Ultimate CPU 1.6 GHz Intel Core i7-720QM Processor Memory 6 GB Graphics Card ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5850 Graphics Sound Card Beats sound system with integrated subwoofer Monitor(s) Displays 17" laptop display, 22" LCD and 32" Full HD TV through HDMI Screen Resolution 1600*900, 1680*1050 and 1920*1080 Keyboard Logitech diNovo Media Desktop Laser (bluetooth) Mouse Logitech MX1000 Laser (Bluetooth) Hard Drives Internal: 2 x 500 GB SATA Hard Disk Drive 7200 rpm

Wow Kari, great thanks!! It works perfectly. I only need to scan my fingerprint in twice to get it to do it, im happy that it works! great! The first one enters my email address whilst my second fingerprint enters my password! So how did you know how to fix it? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP HDX16 Laptop OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit CPU Intel Core 2 duo 2.53Ghz Motherboard Not sure Memory 2 x 2GB Graphics Card 512 MB Geforce 9600 Monitor(s) Displays 16" HD Laptop screen Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 Hard Drives 320GB HHD |

Nice it works for you.
Like I told in my earlier post, I created an account in Facebook, to check how to create this fingerprint login. When I was sure it works, I deleted the account and posted he results.
