Fingerprint devices used instead of Username / Password

[Johann Lee]

Can you use fingerprint devices instead of having users login with
username/password combos?

here is a link to device in question:

does anyone have experience with this?

I use fingerprint devices in a restraunt environment everyday without
any problems. In fact they keep my users from forgetting passwords and
having to use keyboards (I use touchscreens)
