Using Security Features
Working with FingerprintsHP ProtectTools suggests fingers for you to use during the swiping activity. You can select a different finger at any time. To select a different finger, tap the finger you want to swipe in the Hand icon. The new finger is highlighted in light blue.
Note: It is recommended that you NOT enroll pinky fingers since they can be difficult to enroll. Enrolling fingerprints from your dominant hand tends to be easier.
It is recommended that you enroll at least two fingers (index fingers are suggested). It can take between two and eight finger swipes to enroll a fingerprint, depending on the fingerprint quality.
