Fingerprint functionality is not available in the US market.
There are several screen lock options available. The security level of each lock
type is listed below in order of weakest to strongest:
Swipe: no protection, but you have quick access to the Home screen.
Pattern: draw a simple pattern with your finger to unlock your device.
PIN: enter a numeric PIN of at least four digits to unlock your device.
Password: enter an alpha-numeric password to unlock your device.
Fingerprint: place your registered finger on the power key to unlock your
device.
It is very important that you remember your screen lock pattern, PIN or password.
If you forget this information, it may not be possible to restore important data
such as contacts and messages. If you have set up a Microsoft® Exchange
ActiveSync® (EAS) account on your Xperia™ device, the EAS security settings may
limit the lock screen type to only a PIN or password. This occurs when your
network administrator specifies a lock screen type for all EAS accounts for
enterprise security reasons. Contact the network administrator of your company
or organisation to check what network security policies are implemented for
mobile devices.
