Use Fingerprint to enter Master Password
RoboForm works with UPEK fingerprint readers and possibly other devices using BioAPI.
The fingerprint device would store your Master Password in secure area on the device.
This secure area becomes accessible to RoboForm only after you slide your finger and
it is authenticated against the fingerprint stored on the device.
Common tasks are described below.
(1) Storing existing Master Password to fingerprint passport.
If RoboForm Master Password is already set but fingerprint passport is
not initialized yet, then you should go to Options->Fingerprints and
click 'Store Password' button to create/initialize the fingerprint
passport and to store current RoboForm Master Password into it.
(2)
Entering RoboForm Master Password using fingerprint reader
When RoboForm shows Master Password request dialog and
if fingerprint reader is attached to your computer then
special icon appears next to password input box.
It indicates that user can swipe finger.
After user has swiped finger RoboForm reads Master Password
from current fingerprint passport, checks and if it is correct then applies it.
(3) Removing RoboForm Master Password from fingerprint passport.
Go to Options->Fingerprints, click 'Remove Password'.
