Introduction Thanks for purchasing (shall we say adopting?) a Sony Puppy® fingerprint identity token. We think you’ll find it to be easy-to-use and a convenient tool in your day-to-day interactions with your computer. Just think…you won’t need to worry about passwords any more! And you can be assured that your fingerprints are protected, as they are being matched and processed on the fingerprint unit sitting on your desk.
Section 1: You and Your Puppy® Fingerprint Identity Token If you follow some general guidelines, you will be quite happy with the performance and capabilities of your Puppy unit. The Unit Following in the footsteps of the award-winning FIU-710 fingerprint identity token, Sony’s new FIU-900 product includes all the innovative features of its predecessor in an exciting Memory Stick™ media form factor.
Please follow the instructions provided with your Memory Stick™ adapter to insert and remove your FIU-900 unit correctly. So that you can use other Memory Stick media, and retrieve files, pictures, or music, you may remove the actual FIU-900 fingerprint identity token at any time, though we recommend that you do not unplug it when it is required for a fingerprint check: you could cause an error. If this occurs, simply re-insert the device and provide your fingerprint as requested.

After enrolling a new user on my system, I notice that any finger (even the wrong one!) will allow me to access the PC. This is obviously not very secure…why is this happening??

Enter a password for this user via the User Properties dialog box and this problem should be solved. I get an error when I verify my fingerprints after enrollment.
