Fingerprint boot authentication and Single Sign-on feature

Overview about Fingerprint boot authentication

The fingerprint authentication system can be used to replace the keyboard based User Password authentication system when booting up.

If you do not want to use the fingerprint authentication system for password authentication when booting up, but prefer to use the keyboard-based system instead, click the user’s tile when the Fingerprint System Authentication screen is displayed. This will switch the password input screen across to the keyboard-based one.

■You must ensure that you use the TOSHIBA Password Utility to register a User Password before using the Fingerprint boot authentication and its extended function to allow fingerprints to be used to access the computer when it is turned on.

■If the fingerprint authentication process fails five times, a preset time limit is exceeded, or you press the BACK SPACE key, [Password =] will be displayed on the screen and you will have to enter either the User Password or Supervisor Password manually in order to start the computer.

■When swiping your finger, please ensure that you do it slowly and at a constant speed. If you find that this does not improve the authentication rate, you should try to adjust the speed at which the finger is swiped.

■If there are any changes in the environment or settings related to authorization, you will be required to provide authorization information such as a User Password (and, if applicable, the HDD(Hard Disk Drive) password).
