If you have enrolled your fingers while setting up your device for the first time, then the Authenticate screen of HTC Fingerprint Manager will appear every time you power on your device, and prompt you to swipe your enrolled fingers on the fingerprint sensor. After your fingerprints are authenticated, you will be allowed to log on to the device and access your personal data.

Fingerprint authentication is also required before you change any of the HTC Fingerprint settings or encrypt/decrypt files on your device. When you see HTC Fingerprint Manager’s Authentication window, swipe your enrolled fnger over the fngerprint sensor.

Encrypt/Decrypt files with fingerprint security

You can encrypt files and restrict read and write access to the files only to yourself by requiring fingerprint authentication.

If you have not yet enrolled your fingerprints, you will be automatically prompted to do so while start encrypting one or more files. Similarly, you can decrypt and access a protected file only if you swipe your enrolled fingers and find a match with the enrolled fingerprints stored on your device.
