Using Fingerprint Authentication
Your computer is equipped with a fingerprint reader to provide you with
additional convenience. A small horizontal bar located at the upper right of
the keyboard is the sensor of the fingerprint reader and will be referred to as
the fingerprint sensor hereinafter.
Once you have registered your fingerprint(s), the fingerprint authentication
functionality offers:
❑ A substitute for password entry
You can log onto your password-protected system without entering the
power-on, hard disk, and Windows passwords. If you share a computer
with other people, you can skip user selection as well.
❑ Quick web-site access
Once you have registered your user information (user accounts,
passwords, etc.) for web sites in the password bank, you can substitute
fingerprint authentication for entering required information and access
the password-protected web sites.
❑ Access to the encrypted (locked) My Safe folder
The My Safe folder is provided to protect your data against unauthorized
access. With the fingerprint authentication functionality, you can decrypt
(unlock) this folder to access your data.
