Hardware, Utilities and Options
Fingerprint Utility This product has a fingerprint utility installed for
the purpose of enrolling and recognizing
fingerprints which can then be linked to a
username and password in order to remove the
need to input these details from the keyboard.
Just by swiping an enrolled finger against the
fingerprint sensor, the following functions will be
enabled:
■ Logon to Windows and access a security
enabled homepage through Internet Explorer.
■ Files and folders can be encrypted/decrypted
and third party access to them is prevented.
■ Disable the password-protected screen-saver
when returning from a power-saving mode
such as Sleep Mode.
■ Authentication of the User Password (and, if
applicable, the HDD(Hard Disk Drive)
Password) when booting up the computer
(Power-on Security).
■ Single Sign-on feature
■ Fingerprint security cannot be used in models that do not have a
fingerprint module installed.
■ The HDD (Hard Disk Drive) Password can be registered in the BIOS
Setup. If you forget your HDD Password, TOSHIBA will NOT be able
to assist you, and your HDD will be rendered COMPLETELY and
PERMANENTLY INOPERABLE. TOSHIBA will NOT be held
responsible for any loss of any data, any loss of use or access to your
HDD, or for any other losses to you or any other person or
organization that result from the loss of access to your HDD. If you
can't accept this risk, don't register the HDD Password.
TOSHIBA Face
Recognition*
TOSHIBA Face Recognition uses a face
verification library to verify the face data of users
when they log in to Windows. If the verification is
successful, the user will be logged into Windows
automatically. The user can thus avoid having to
enter a password or the like, which makes the
login process easier.
