Fingerprint Authentication Utility

Enabling Power-on Security

Options for power-on security are displayed only if your computer supports this feature. In most configurations, power-on security is enabled automatically after the first user fingerprints are enrolled.

To disable/enable power-on security:

1Open the Control Center and go to Settings - Power-on Security. (This wizard is displayed only if your system supports power-on security.)

2Check the option Replace the power-on and hard drive passwords with the fingerprint reader.

Power-on security can be configured to operate with the fingerprint logon feature. If a fingerprint used for power-on security matches a fingerprint in an existing passport, the corresponding user is logged on automatically without having to enter the Windows® logon password.

NOTE

Your hardware must support Power-on security to use the

 

single logon feature. You must have administrative privileges

 

to change settings.

 

 

To enable power-on security single logon:

1Open the Control Center and go to Settings - System Settings.

2Select Logon.

3Check the Allow power-on security single sign-on check box. (Logon support must be enabled for this option to be accessible.)
