Settings and policies for the fingerprint reader authentication

Enforced fingerprint bypass option

The fingerprint bypass option enables a user to bypass the fingerprint authentication and use a windows
password to log on. The user can select or deselect this option on the Password Manager user interface
when adding a new entry.

However, by default, the fingerprint bypass is enabled even if this option is not selected. This is to allow the
user to log on to Windows when the fingerprint sensor is not functional. To disable the enforced fingerprint
bypass option, edit the following registry key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\Client Security Solution\CSS Configuration]
"GinaDenyLogonDeviceNonEnrolled"=dword:00000001

When the registry key is set as above, the user can not bypass fingerprint authentication when the fingerprint
sensor is not working.

Fingerprint swipe result

During the fingerprint authentication, the below policy controls the display of fingerprint swipe results.

HKLM\Lenovo\TVT Common\Client Security Solution\FPSwipeResult

• FPSwipeResult=0: Show all messages.

• FPSwipeResult=1: Show failure messages only(default value).

• FPSwipeResult=2: Do not show any messages.
