Is it possible to use a fingerprint reader with Chrome?

Question

I recently purchased a K-Byte Fingerprint Reader, it says something about using it on the web but nothing on how to do so. I successfully set it up with Windows Hello, however, is there a chrome extension for this? If not, is there any possible way to do so without the extension?

Solution 1

If you have a LastPass Premium account, LastPass has a biometric authentication option. You can enable it by opening My Vault, then Settings, then Multifactor Options.

Solution 2

1) Go to this site http://support.authentec.com/Downloads/Windows/ProtectorSuite.aspx and download protector suite, should work for windows 7 and 8.

2) Go back to the site above, click on Browser Extension tab and click download for chrome

3) Look for the downloaded file, and drag file with your mouse to your opened chrome browser into your extensions. Fingerprint reader should work with chrome now.
