Overview about Fingerprint Single Sign-On feature

This is a feature that allows the user to complete the authentication for both the User/BIOS Password (and, if applicable, the HDD/SSD Password) and logging onto Windows using only one fingerprint authentication when booting up.

It is necessary to register the User/BIOS Password and Windows Logon Password before using the Fingerprint Pre-Boot authentication and this Fingerprint Single Sign-On Feature. Please use the TOSHIBA Password Utility to register your User/BIOS Password. If Windows Logon is not the default for your system, see Manual to register your Windows Logon Password.

Only one fingerprint authentication is required to replace the User/BIOS Password (and, if applicable, the HDD/SSD Password) and the Windows Logon Password.
