PRESS RELEASE
December 19, 2016 - As one of the global leaders in mobile peripheral solutions, PQI Group today releases "My Lockey - Fingerprint Recognition and Encryption Dongle". The market for fingerprint recognition technology is steadily growing and with the latest Microsoft Windows 10 operating system incorporating biometric authentication, the new PQI My Lockey is the ideal solution for ultimate personal security. It bridges the gap between Windows Hello and previous hardware generations, allowing the use of advance biometric authentication systems. CEO of Global Operations at PQI, Spencer Chiu says "Recently, the increase of fingerprint recognition system resulted in 8-inch wafer productions to fully-load IC foundries. This has led us to believe the strength and adaptability of the fingerprint recognition system in the near future! PQI has summoned their experienced R&D team, integrated multiple resources and with deep roots in the biotechnology field, PQI has simplified the process of personal identification while reinforcing data protection, in the form of My Lockey".
PQI My Lockey is compatible with existing PCs with Microsoft Windows 10 operating system. With previous generation computers running Windows 10, it cannot use Windows Hello due to the lack of biometric recognition hardware. With PQI Lockey, plug it into a PC running Windows 10, follow the intuitive set-up guide and you can have your own biometric identification system that reacts within 0.15 second. Revamp your existing PC with the latest technology that safe guards your digital privacy and data security. The invisible burden for people living in the digitized world is remembering passwords. Usually, longer the password, safer the security. Composing it with alphanumeric combinations will make it even harder to crack. Nevertheless, most major accounts require users to change their passwords every now and then for security reasons. With every update, there's a new and long alphanumeric password to memorize and it really puts people's memory abilities to the test! Memorizing multiple passwords for various accounts is not an easy task and the passwords may be hacked as soon as they are entered online. To solve these problems, your own biometric ID is the best solution to gain access to your accounts. Your biometric ID is unique, unduplicable and it's always on you to provide the ultimate privacy and data security. There is no doubt, biometric ID will be the future of password!
