Using Eikon USB fingerprint reader to access accounts

I am using an Eikon USB fingerprint reader to access my coomputer.
My question is, Is there a way to configure the logging in to the computer with multiple finger print scans to use one admin account?
And does anyone know how to use this type of scanner to set up username and passwords to access website accounts?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.4), 2 GHz Intel Core Duo

I have the Eikon USB fingerprint reader too, on a mac and a windows. On the windows side I have always been able to set up access to web sites, but on the mac I don't think it is supported yet. Also, if you want to enable different people to access the same account, just put their fingerprint in, they don't necessarily have to correspond to the correct finger in the illustration, but if you want to set it up so that you need two people to swipe their fingerprints to access one account, I don't know.

For now the Eikon unlocks keychain which is used to remember user names and passwords. Customer support told me a password bank for the Mac software is in development and should be available early next year.
