You mean if you get a cut on the finger you registered. On this page[1], though, it says it would support "[storing] multiple fingerprints", so that should help in that case.

Hmmm, I wonder if there's a way to set this up with a "duress" fingerprint, that'll unlock a special/different key and log you in to completely vanilla accounts instead of your real ones?

That is a must, I recently started skateboarding and wipping it up and grabbing the sanding paper-like surface makes my fp scanner not work for about 2 days!
