Fingerprint Authentication Utility
If you do not use a Windows
®
password, you will be prompted to
define a new (non-empty) one. This is not necessary, but a password
improves the security of your software.
If your system supports power-on security, a Power-on button is
also displayed above each enrolled fingerprint. This button is shown
pressed by default, indicating that your fingerprint is automatically
added for power-on authentication.
During fingerprint enrollment, the system displays icons as
prompts, notifications, and warnings. These icons and their
meanings are as follows:
❖
Reader ready—the reader is waiting to read your fingerprint.
Swipe your finger when you are ready.
❖
Reader busy—wait for the reader to complete its operation.
❖
Problem with operation—the reader could not read your
fingerprint. Swipe your finger again.
❖
Operation succeeded—the reader successfully read or verified
your fingerprint.
❖
Failed to verify the user—the fingerprint could not be matched.
❖
Error reading fingerprint—the finger was too far to the left or
right. Center your finger and swipe it again.
❖
Error reading fingerprint—the movement was skewed. Swipe
your finger again in a straight line.
❖
Error reading fingerprint—the movement was too fast. Swipe
your finger again at a slower speed.
❖
Error reading fingerprint—the movement was too short. Swipe
your finger again using a longer motion.
Fingerprint Logon
The fingerprint utility enables logon to your computer using
fingerprints. During user enrollment, fingerprint samples are saved
and associated with the user’s Windows
®
user account. When the
user attempts to log on again, the user’s fingerprint is read and
compared with the user’s enrolled fingerprints; if the fingerprint is
recognized, user logon is completed.
