Biometrics for Remote Desktop

Biometrics for Remote Desktop is a handy software tool that makes it super easy to use your local fingerprint scanners on another computer while you're connected remotely. You won't have to jump through hoops anymore—it really helps simplify everything!

Easy Setup with Two Components

One thing to keep in mind is that this software has two parts. You'll need to install one on the computer where your biometric scanners are connected and the other on the remote machine that will collect all that info. Don't worry, there are some quick instructions during installation to guide you on how to set up each part correctly.

No More Hassles After Configuration

Once you finish the initial setup, you won’t have to enter any extra details or change complicated settings again. The cool part? Every time you log into a remote session, it automatically transfers your biometric devices! This means programs that rely on fingerprint input will work just like if the scanner was plugged directly into the remote computer.

No USB Drivers Needed

You also don’t need to mess with installing USB device drivers on the remote side. This helps avoid some annoying problems users face when trying to use USB fingerprint scanners that aren’t built for Terminal Server setups.

Keeping Your Data Safe

If multiple users are logged into the remote machine at once, each device stays separate in its session. This way, no one can access sensitive data from someone else’s session—your info stays safe!

Supported Protocols and Devices

Biometrics for Remote Desktop works with several remote desktop protocols like Microsoft RDP, Teradici PCoIP, and Citrix ICA. You can find a full list of supported biometric devices right here.
