■Logon to Windows and access a security-enabled homepage through IE (Internet Explorer).

■Files and folders can be encrypted/decrypted and third party access to them prevented.

■Disable the password-protected screen-saver when returning from power-saving (standby) mode.

■Power-on Security and Single Sign-on feature.

■Authentication of the User Password and Hard Disk Drive Password when booting up the computer.

Fingerprint cannot be used in models that do not have a fingerprint module installed.
