TrueSuite enhances and simplifies sensor use and PC security while offering additional convenience and personalization features. TrueSuite software is tailored for consumers who demand simplicity, improved usability, and one-touch access to their digital ID and social networks.
Optimized for PCs based on Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system, TrueSuite Premium features include:
• Simplified Windows log-on

"The benefits and features of fingerprint sensors on PCs haven't been fully realized due to limitations in available application software, which is why we developed TrueSuite.
