Using TOSHIBA Face Recognition
TOSHIBA Face Recognition uses a face verification library to verify the
face data of users when they log in Windows. The user can thus avoid
having to enter a password or the like, which makes the login process
easier. This software is preinstalled with some models.

How to register the Face Recognition Data
Take a picture for facial verification purposes, and register the data needed
when you log in. To register the data needed when you log in, follow the
steps as described below:
1. To launch this utility, click Start -> All Programs -> TOSHIBA ->
Utilities -> Face Recognition.
■ TOSHIBA Face Recognition does not guarantee the correct
identification of a user. Changes to the likeness of a registrant, such as
hairstyle changes, wearing a cap, or wearing glasses may affect the
recognition rates when such changes occur after the registrant had
registered.
■ TOSHIBA Face Recognition may incorrectly recognize faces that are
similar to a registrant.
■ For high security purposes, TOSHIBA Face Recognition is not a
suitable substitute for Windows passwords. When security is a high
priority, use your established Windows passwords to log in.
■ Bright background light and/or shadows may prevent a registrant from
being recognized correctly. In that case, log in using your Windows
password. If recognition of a registrant fails repeatedly, refer to your
computer documentation to learn ways to improve recognition
performance.
■ The Registration screen is displayed for a logged-in user whose face
has not been registered.
■ The Management screen is displayed for a logged-in user whose face
has already been registered.
