Fingerprint Pre-Boot Authentication and Single Sign- on feature

Overview about Fingerprint Pre-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 Pre-Boot Authentication and its extended function to allow fingerprints to be used to access the computer when it is turned on.

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).

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 (Hard Disk Drive) 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 (Hard Disk Drive) Password) and the Windows Logon Password.
