Using TOSHIBA Face Recognition

TOSHIBA Face Recognition uses a face verification library to verify the face data of users when they log in Windows. The user can thus avoid having to enter a password or the like, which makes the login process easier. This software is preinstalled with some models.

■TOSHIBA Face Recognition does not guarantee the correct identification of a user. Changes to the likeness of a registrant, such as hairstyle changes, wearing a cap, or wearing glasses may affect the recognition rates when such changes occur after the registrant had registered.

■TOSHIBA Face Recognition may incorrectly recognize faces that are similar to a registrant.

■For high security purposes, TOSHIBA Face Recognition is not a suitable substitute for Windows passwords. When security is a high priority, use your established Windows passwords to log in.

■Bright background light and/or shadows may prevent a registrant from being recognized correctly. In that case, log in using your Windows password. If recognition of a registrant fails repeatedly, refer to your computer documentation to learn ways to improve recognition performance.
