Window Logon via Fingerprint Authentication

In place of the usual Windows logon by ID and password, fingerprint

authentication also allows logon to Windows.
This is useful especially when many users are using the same computer as

it allows the user selection screen to be skipped.

Fingerprint Authentication Procedure

1. Start up the computer.
2. The Logon Authorization screen is displayed. Choose any of the

enrolled fingers and swipe the fingerprint on the sensor.

If authentication is successful, the user will be logged on to Windows.

Fingerprint Power-on Security

General

The fingerprint authentication system can be used to replace the

keyboard-based User/BIOS Password authentication system when booting

up.
If you do not want to use the fingerprint authentication system for password

authentication when booting up, but prefer to use the keyboard-based

system instead, press the BkSP (backspace) key when the Fingerprint

Power-on Security screen is displayed. This will switch the password input

screen to the keyboard-based one.

If the fingerprint authentication fails, please logon using the Windows logon

password.
Please logon using the Windows logon password if the fingerprint

authentication failed for three consecutive tries. To logon using the

Windows logon password, enter the Windows logon password at the

“Welcome” screen as normal.
A warning message will be displayed when authentication is abnormal or

authentication is not successful within a fixed duration.
