My 2011 iMac is still on Mountain Lion and I recently downgraded my 2010 Macbook Air from Yosemite to Mountain Lion as well (because Aperture does not work when you need to run both of these OS'es the fingerprint reader was not the main reason).ĥ. It does NOT work with Mavericks/Yosemite. I just registered all fingerprints for one account I registered my 2 index fingers and my wife's 2 index fingers on the 10 available fingers for an account.Ĥ. I still have one of the latest versions of this, if you need it.ģ. NO, you DO need additional software: Authentec Truesuite. Yes, I am using the Upek Eikon Fingerprint reader now.Ģ. This should work, but I never tried it I use lastpass for this in combination with a Yubikey.Īs I understand it, a checksum of your fingerprint is stored in the fingerprint scanner hardware, not the whole fingerprint.ġ. Yes, you can use the fingerprint scanner when installing software you don't have to enter a password anymore. Yes, you can login the Mac with the fingerprint scanner, that is my main purpose it makes it easier for my wife to use it and I can still configure a good password.Ģ.

When you upgrade it is even advised to remove the Authentec Truesuite software first, since this could lock you out of the system after the upgrade.ġ.

The fingerprint scanner works perfectly when you stay on Mac OS X Mountain Lion.
The hardware itself is still for sale on amazon I think. Since Apple killed the company when they took over the technology, you have to find alternative sources to download the software, doesn't exist anymore. It comes with it's own software: Authentec Truesuite.
