Register a website on the DigitalPersona Personal software [ Edited ] Options

03-06-2010 04:59 PM - edited 11-11-2012 06:32 PM

D

Register a website on the DigitalPersona Personal software

In the below example we will use the YouTube sign in page.

When this icon will appear on any website it means that login and password information for it was not

registred by the DigitalPersona software.

Click once this symbol (upper left part of the website)

and choose from the list ' Add New Account for '.











The ' Add New Account ' window will appear.

Enter your login name and password. When you will do this choose ' OK '.

Enroll the fingerprint.





After this you'll be logged into your YouTube account.

Next time when you woll enter the YouTube sing up website you will see this time new symbol .

It will always give you information that the current website was already registered by DigitalPersona, so to log in

you only need to enroll the fingerprint.

F FAQ

Questions:

1. In ' Control Panel ' under ' Biometric Devices ' I don't see my fingerprint. I only see information that this device is

not detected.

2. DigitalPersona informs that the fingerprint sensor was not detected.

Answers:

Ad. 1

The current version of DigitalPersona isn't integrated with Windows 7. That's why your fingerprint does not appear

there like when you are using the AuthenTec TrueSuite software.

How you may check does the software works well?

If your fingerprint isn't detected by DigitalPersona then the icon of this program looks like this:

If your fingerprint is detected by DigitalPersona then the icon of this program looks like this:

4.10.3790

4.11.3826

4.10.3790

Re: DigitalPersona, Validity fingerprint and Windows 7 Options

05-19-2010 01:43 AM

IF THE ABOVE DOES NOT WORK FOR YOU TRY MY SOLUTION

After many many days of toil I have finally found the solution to get Validity VFS301 sensor working with Digital Persona on Win 7 64

bit as it is supposed to.

DO NOT INSTALL WBF drivers from any websites or from drivermax.. These drivers only allow logging in Win7 and not website log in.

1) First UNINSTALL all software and DDK (validity drivers)....

Make sure you also go to Control Panel => Device Manager => Validity Sensor

UNINSTALL the sensor and check "delete the driver software for this device"

2) Then make sure you REBOOT

3) Download and Install Validity drivers from HP


4) REBOOT AGAIN ... it is important

5) Download Digital Persona ver 4.11.3805 from link below

http://d11tvxmfjhi64o.cloudfront.net/X64/Setup.exe

(This file is taken from

http://forum.notebookreview.com/hp-compaq-voodoo-pc/404164-drivers-hp-dv6-gen-2-dv7-gen-3-dv8-hdx16-...

6) RUN the Setup.exe

When it asks to install driver for finger print reader (the first dialog you get when you run the setup.exe)

DO NOT click INSTALL

Leave the installation window as it is...

http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/tag/!%20I%20hav/tg-p/board-id/OS





7) Open windows explorer by pressing win+E

8) Go to

C:\Users\Username \AppData\Local\Temp\

click the column "Date Modified" to sort the last modified files first in the list

You will have a folder with {05B54AFA-28C6-4FED-A0E6-3F235641DA1D } <============= EXAMPLE only it will be different

on your computer

Go in the folder and you will see some ini files with a file named "fingerprint reader drivers.prq"

open "fingerprint reader drivers.prq" in notepad.exe

Delete all the lines of text in the file "fingerprint reader drivers.prq" and save the empty file.

9) return to Digital Persona setup dialog mentioned in point 6

Now click INSTALL and let it install the software

It will open the same folder again and then continue install...

When it asks to REBOOT click YES

10) After REBOOT the finger print reader is working without a hitch.

REMEMBER THE KUDOS IF MY SOLUTION SOLVES YOUR PROBLEM
