What happens if I lose my FIU-810 unit?
The Puppy Suite Personal software was designed with both convenience and security in mind. If
you lose your device, and you had set your authentication method to [Fingerprint OR Password],
the software will default to a standard Windows username and password (not your Puppy
password) dialog box. Simply type in this information to gain access to your PC. You will also
note that if you do not plug in your device (i.e.: it's at home), you will be able to access your PC
in this fashion.
However, if you do not have this authentication method selected, you will not be able to logon to
your PC.

administrator for your PC, the administrator should be able to login to the PC using his/her
username and password and possibly uninstall the software for you.
As always, to prevent re-installation of Windows and possible loss of data, keep a copy of your
password in a safe, secure place.
I'm concerned about the security of my PC...if I can simply type in my username and
password without the FIU-810 unit, how do I prevent someone from getting into my PC?
If you select [Fingerprint ONLY] or [Fingerprint AND Password] as an authentication method,
it's not that easy, but for any situation, one of the best ways to provide better security is to
change your password to a long and complex one, 32+ characters in length. Your FIU-810 unit
will remember the password, so length is not an issue! And, it will be very difficult for a hacker
to figure out such a complex password.
However, if you are concerned about losing your device, and therefore access, be sure to keep a
copy of your password somewhere, OR set up a backup account from which you can reset a
user's password.
I want to deploy the FIU-810 throughout my company, and I need more control over the
device's functions and capabilities. What can I do?
Puppy Suite™ Enterprise Edition (PS/EE) software may be right for your organization. The user
experience is very similar to the Puppy Suite Personal software(client-only), however, PS/EE
also ships with an Administrator Tool which allows an administrator to initialize, pre-set and
pre-load FIU-810 units with a variety of controls and rules. For example,
• Install/uninstall rights
• Fingerprint and password registration controls
• Pre-load Windows Logon and Password info
• Randomly generate up to a 64 digit Windows password at password change prompt
• Pre-load digital certificates
• Pre-set private storage area
