Using Fingerprint Authentication

n 74 N

Logging Onto Your System

To use the fingerprint authentication function in place of password entry to log onto your system, you need to set the power- on and Windows passwords and configure your computer for fingerprint authentication.

For setting the power-on and Windows passwords, see Setting the Password (page 97).

For detailed information, see the help file included with the Protector Suite QL.

Logging onto Windows

If you have registered your fingerprints for your user account, you can substitute fingerprint authentication for Windows password entry. To log onto Windows, swipe the registered finger across the fingerprint sensor when the Windows log-on screen appears.

Power-on Security feature

If you have set the power-on password (page 97), you can substitute fingerprint authentication for password entry when starting your computer.
