The Fingerprint Reader should not be used for protecting sensitive data such as financial information or for accessing corporate networks. We continue to recommend that you use a strong password for these types of activities.
It only uses IE. That's the shitty thing, I've been using Firefox a lot lately because IE has been crashing on me left and right. The reason they say this thing shouldn't be used for securing financial info isn't because of the risk of someone stealing your fingerprint, it's the risk of someone stealing the password that's stored locally after it associates your fingerprint with it.

Here's a pic.
