Upek protector suite for windows 10

Windows 10 and Protector Suite 2009

Software: Protector Suite 2009 (UPEK, Inc.)

Recently upgraded to Windows 10 Pro. Protector Suite 2009 worked since Aug 5 the day I upgraded from Windows 7 Pro. Today, I can’t sign in using biometrics. Tried to reload the software but OS would not let me — “need to enable biometric framework”. Launched gpedit.msc – Administrative Template — Windows Components — Biometrics and enabled: Allowed the use of Biometric and Allow users to log on using biometrics. Rebooted. Same result . can’t log in using biometrics.

In addition, Uninstall a program would not allow me to change or repair existing Protector Suite. I can’t uninstall it either. What can I do to remedy this issue?

Contacted tech support from manufacturer of my laptop and we went through the process similar to what I had done earlier. The result was the same — can’t remove old Protector Suite 2009 (by UPEK, Inc.), tried loading over it with Protector Suite 2011 (by Authentec) and both received pop up window “need to enable biometric framework”. At this point, nothing can be done from my end.

I guess the ball is both in the hands of Windows 10 and Protector Suite.

I have Protector Suite 2012. The manufacturer Authentec as it was last called was taken over by Apple which used its finger print technology in its IPhones. Authentec has been shut down as has its previous help website.

I downloaded windows 10. Protector Suite is incompatible with edge the windows 10 browser. IE 11 is a legacy browser. I rolled back to windows 7.

Expect no help from Microsoft. I am with windows 7 until End of extended support January 14, 2020.

I purchased my laptop along with the biometric technology. Today, Windows 10 Pro simply voided it.

I still can’t get my head around that the biometric logon function worked for two days after I upgraded from

Window 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro. On the third day, it stopped working though the Protector Suite logon image

continues to appear at the bottom left of the logon screen. When I click on it in an attempt to logon using my

finger print, I get a message “Cannot locate finger print device” along with “press ESC for the Welcome screen”. But when I press ESC, nothing happens. I have to click on my log in image (also located at the bottom left of the screen above the Protector Suite image) to get back the Welcome screen.

Widely used fingerprint reader exposes Windows passwords in seconds
If your laptop uses software from UPEK, it’s exposing your Windows password.

After reading this, I wonder if Apple purchased a defective product. Apple purchased Authentec (makers of Protector Suite 2009, 2011, 2012) for $365M(?) for their iPhones. 😮

I have been having this issue with my workplace computers. But heres the catch.

We have 30 or so Dell Optiplex 760s running Win10Pro. Any computer that had protector suite on it before when it was running Win7Pro I am having the Windows Hello issue with.

Any computer that NEVER had protector suite on it or any other biometric software, and now had Win10Pro, as soon as I plug in the fingerprint reader, Windows Hello comes up.

I tried “resetting” windows10 via the settings, and selecting the remove all files, doing a “fresh” install of 10. This did not work.

Now I am going to start fresh, reformat and put 7Pro back on the drive, update to 10Pro, then plug in the reader and see if that works.

I have no idea why on some client machines it works fine and some it doesnt. Identical hardware and software. Only difference was some used the readers before on 7.

Will post with results.

This solution worked. No idea why. Had to start from scratch on win7 to get it to work.

For others facing the same problem, I don’t think you need to start from scratch. I believe the problem is an outdated UPEK or Authentec driver that migrates to Windows 10. To fix the problem for me, I inserted the fingerprint reader into the USB port and uninstalled Protector Suite. Next, I opened device manager, found “biometric devices”, double-clicked on the fingerprint reader and went to the driver tab and uninstalled the driver (choose advanced and make sure to check any boxes to completely remove the driver and any associated files). I didn’t restart, but it wouldn’t hurt to do it I suppose. I then unplugged the fingerprint reader, waited a few seconds, then plugged it back in. Windows 10 found the correct driver automatically (do not use the old Protector Suite 2012 or earlier discs) and Windows Hello works fine after setting up a PIN. Unfortunately, Protector Suite is gone but as it was insecure anyways maybe that’s for the best.

Question

I’ve got a Dell XPS M1330 notebook with integrated UPEK biometric fingerprint reader. The device itself is working fine, however the driver setup I’ve got at the moment isn’t ideal.

I can either use the driver provided by Windows Update, and this allows Windows to recognise the biometric device and I can use the Windows fingerprint logion functionality, but this is all. What I really want to do is use UPEKs’ Protector Suite QL to enable the use of the biometric device to login to websites etc.

If I use the driver provided by Windows Update, Protector Suite QL doesn’t recognise the fingerprint reader installed. If I use the UPEK driver that allows the Protector Suite to work, Windows doesn’t find any biometric devices installed – I can’t find a suitable driver where both Windows AND Protector Suite QL recognise the biometric device. Has anyone a solution or a similar problem?

I would like Windows to recognise the device to use the Windows biometric login, and Protector Suite QL to recognise he device to use the biometric website login. Alternatively I’d be happy not to use Protector Suite QL at all if there is a way to use the biometric device to login to websites native in Windows.

If anyone has any advice or thoughts, it’d be great to hear them.

Answers

Let me shed some light on this issue:

There are currently two different types of UPEK applications (and drivers) available – a legacy app and a “WBF” app.

While the legacy application can be installed and used on any version of Windows including XP, Vista and W7 as well, the WBF application can be installed and used only on Windows 7 that supports the Windows Biometric Framework API.
The main advantage of the WBF app/driver is that it is fully integrated with the W7 Windows Biometric Framework API.

Regarding the device drivers, the legacy driver supports only legacy applications whereas the WBF driver supports only the new “W7 only” applications and of course the Windows Biometric Framework feature of W7 as well.

Note that that the Protector Suite QL (5.6 or 5.8) is a legacy application so it requires a legacy driver to be installed in order to recognize the biometric device and to work properly. However, as described above, the legacy driver does not support W7 Windows Biometric Framework API so the Windows 7 cannot work directly with the device.

To summarize:
The new WBF Protector Suite 2009 requires WBF driver to be installed and IS fully integrated with W7 biometric features.

The legacy applications like PS QL 5.6 or 5.8 and legacy Protector Suite 2009 as well require the legacy driver to be installed and are not integrated with the W7 Windows Biometric Framework API so the Windows 7 cannot work directly with the device.

Upek protector suite for windows 10

I just found this article about Upek Protector suite being vulnerable to hacking of the registry stored password. My W520 comes with an AuthenTec (who bought UPEK) TouchChip Fingerprint Coprocessor.

The Lenovo Fingerprint Software looks like a rebranded version of Upek Protector Suite. Is this true?

Re: Is Lenovo Fingerprint Software = Upek Protector ?

Any and every kind of password utility can be and is hackable.

True but this is an egregious fault that Lenovo needs to take very seriously.

Re: Is Lenovo Fingerprint Software = Upek Protector ?

since some time passed by, is there any new information regarding this topic? As our security goes nuts, we´re trying to confirm or deny wether or not the Lenovo fingerprint software is a rebranded version of the Upek Protector .

Re: Is Lenovo Fingerprint Software = Upek Protector ?

tgrmas,

Thanks for the prompt – I had been meaning to get back to this topic.

Our engineering team responsible for the fingerprint scanner worked with AuthenTec (who purchased Upek) and shared the following summary based on AuthenTec and our own analysis.

“We agree with AuthenTec’s position that the attack on users’ Windows passwords is not as trivial as the article claims. Any tool that would execute the attack would need to be run with Administrator privileges — an access level that would let any number of security hacks, such as keyloggers, to be run. AuthenTec will provide a software patch that will protect against attacks to their encryption algorithm, and will resolve the reported issue. We are working with AuthenTec to port this patch to our ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software (TFS). This patch which will be backward compatible with existing versions of TFS, and will soon be made available for our customers on the Lenovo website and as a critical update on ThinkVantage System Update.”

I’ll update here with links once the patch is available for download (or through TVSU).

EDIT 10/1/12 Patch now available for download here.
