Fingerprint Authentication Utility
(Available on certain models.)
The fingerprint authentication utility can be used to replace the
keyboard-based user password authentication system when booting
up.
The fingerprint authentication utility can also be used for user
logon. The user’s fingerprint is read; if the system recognizes the
fingerprint, the user is automatically logged on.
