I think you would need some drivers and such to make that work. My
understanding is that there is some big key stored in the fingerprint
scanner itself and that key is only output when the associated
fingerprint matches "close enough". It's not like a fingerprint creates
the key. So you would need software that would setup the connection
between your fingerprint and the key and store that in the device. In
good systems the fingerprint data itself never leaves the device (as is
done in the iPhone).

Hi,
I just squired a usb fingerprint reader for my windows machine.
Has anyone used a fingerprint reader on the mac? If so how well do
they work? Can one register fingerprints without sighted assistance?
Again this is for mac not ios.
