Fingerprint Authentication Utility

(Available on certain models.)
The fingerprint authentication utility can be used to replace
the keyboard-based user password authentication system
when booting up.
The fingerprint authentication utility can also be used for
user logon. The user’s fingerprint is read; if the system
recognizes the fingerprint, the user is automatically logged
on.
