Fingerprint Authentication Utility
verifies the fingerprint of user B (who is already enrolled), the
utility recognizes the fingerprint and switches the users.
If your system supports power-on security, existing fingerprint
samples can be used also for power-on authentication.
Power-on Security
The power-on security feature prevents unauthorized access to your
computer when it is turned off by requiring the user to pass
fingerprint authentication. If fingerprint authentication fails, the
user will not be able to start the computer.
When power-on security is enabled, the system asks you to
authenticate your fingerprint. You have 40 seconds to swipe your
fingerprint.
If the authentication fails, the system tries again up to two more
times. If authentication fails after the third attempt, the system shuts
down.
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:
1 Open the Control Center and go to Settings - Power-on
Security. (This wizard is displayed only if your system
supports power-on security.)
2 Check 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.
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:
1 Open the Control Center and go to Settings - System
Settings.
