Will Authentec Truesuite be updated for 10.9?

I believe Apple purchased parts of Authtic. Anyone have any clue if Authentec Truesuite for the Mac will be updated or will work in 10.9 Mavrick?


Excuse the post, I didn't know where to ask!

@yreiser. I have read the previous posts. Including your fix on page 3. I also replied to you stating:

Thanks. Followed your instructions and was able to create a new user account. Had I not previously removed the true suite icon from my System preferences I'd be fine. Here's where it gets tricky. I was able to login as the new user and download the true suite UnInstaller for the last known OS. It mounted and ran. Thought I had a fix on my hands but in doing this I realize that I've created a bigger problem. Now when I reboot, I get the apple plus an infinite loupe spinning wheel.

...


Unless you know any other ideas, I'll just grab my files in target mode and reload the OS from scratch.

Well after numerous hours spent trying to sort the Mavericks login loop I received word from AppleCare that their engineers had evaluated my logs and determined the culprit was True Suite. I ended up having to restore to a Mountail Lion time machine backup, uninstall the Authentec app then proceed with Mavericks install. Trying to delete or uninstall it from within Mavericks was an utter failure. So much for incompatible apps being moved to folder when upgrading OSX versions! Hopefully the engineers at Apple resolve this and fix it in future Mavericks update! OP thank you for thread!

Hey guys,


thanks so much!! ive been having this infinite login loop problem too.I thought it might be truesuite!!!


I really need something like this on my imac though for work (PCI Compliance..) so what alternatives do you guys suggest? Preferrably something that will give me two stage authentication, in otherwords both finger scan AND password (since with True Suite i only managed one or the other but never both..)


Also does anyone have the install for true suite? the company/link i got it from some months ago no longer exists!


Thanks guys!!

  1. I updated my mac mini to Maverick without uninstalling TrueSuite first (not knowing that this will become a problem).
  2. I could only log in with the Guest account.
  3. I uninstalled TrueSuite from the image (using the link in this forum)
  4. Now my machine does not boot anymore (takes forever, no login screen appearing)
  5. I am not able to boot in safe or restore mode (maybe because I do not have an Apple keyboard)


Any ideas?


Kind regards,

Willi

I found out the hard way too 😁 I had to restore my MBP and i'm now back on Lion. I really like my Eikon so i'm looking for a way to keep at least some of its functionality when I upgrade to Mavericks. Hugouz mentioned earlier in this thread that it's possible to run the TrueSuite software on Mavericks as long as you turn the Fingerprint Log On function off, so i'm just wondering if anyone can confirm if this true.

Thanks to everyone who is contributing to this active thread, but please remember:


(1) UNINSTALL TrueSuite before upgrading to Mavericks, cutting corners can result in ugly surprises

(2) DON'T assume that because some TrueSuite functions work under OS X 10.9 that they are working correctly.


Using TrueSuite as-is under Mavericks could result in nasty surprises. As much as we all love the functionality and convenience, we are best holding back in hopes that Apple can deliver Mavericks-compliant solutions.


TrueSuite is NOT a simple program: it spawns an SQL database, and other two-factor hooks deep into the OS and Eikon hardware.


Patience is hard to muster -- but please feedback to Apple and lets stay in touch. It's gratifying to see how many people rely on Authentec solutions, and see Apple Communities in action...
