Client Security Solution and Password Manager
Different from Windows logon, authentication requests from Client Security Solution and Password Manager
only work on the preferred fingerprint sensor. For example, when a fingerprint keyboard is connected, its
fingerprint sensor is the preferred device. When a fingerprint keyboard is not connected, the ThinkPad
internal fingerprint sensor is the preferred device.
To change the preferred device, create a registry entry as follows:
[HKLM\Software\Lenovo\TVT Common\Client Security Solution]
REG_DWORD "PreferInternalFPSensor" = 1
