USB Fingerprint Readers

Anybody use these?

Do they add a little extra security, or are they merely an easier way to log onto sites?

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

The reviews of this thing aren't super.

And the lit says NOT to log onto important sites with it. You have to wonder why it isn't very secure.

Maybe the next generation will be better? Seems like a great idea, at least. If I have to use a thumbprint to log onto my machine and to log onto banking sites, then that seems like a good thing.

But, alas, it's all about the software. If that's not secure...
