I recently bough the Microsoft fingerprint reader, after a recommendation, and I've been surprised by how good the package is. It doesn't work for logons in a domain, which is my configuration, but then I don't turn my machine off, so it's not a problem, but it does work for websites, and work very well. Any website that requires login you just place your finger on the reader, and the associated software prompts for the logon information for the fields. Subsequent visits you just use the finger and there's no prompting or typing. Very, very useful, for both the terminally forgetful (me), and the lazy (me again).
