If your system has a fingerprint scanner, you can record your fingerprint and use it to log in. You must have administrative privileges to perform these steps.

+ + +

Select your user name in the upper right-hand corner, then choose "My Account".

+ + +

Unlock your account using the "Unlock" button at the bottom left of the User Accounts tool.

+ + +

Enter your password at the prompt.

+ + +

Select the "Disabled" option next to "Fingerprint Login".

+ + +

Select an option for the fingerprint you want to register. You may choose your right index finger, your left index finger, or a different finger. Then select "Forward".

+ + +

Swipe the finger you selected three times at moderate speed over your fingerprint reader. Each time the fingerprint reader recognizes your fingerprint properly, the corresponding picture of a hand will transform into a picture of a fingerprint with a check mark. After the third swipe, you will see the message "Done!"

+ + +

Select "Forward". You will see a confirmation message that your fingerprint was saved successfully. Select "Close" to finish.

+ + + +

If you register a fingerprint, you still have the option to log in with your password.

First, record a fingerprint the system can use to identify you.

+ +

If your finger is too dry, you may have difficulty registering your fingerprint. If this happens, moisten your finger slightly, dry it with a clean, lint-free cloth, and retry.

+ + + +

Select your user name in the upper right-hand corner, then choose "My Account".

+ + +

Unlock your account using the "Unlock" button at the bottom left of the User Accounts tool.

+ + +

Enter your password at the prompt.

+ + +

Select the "Disabled" option next to "Fingerprint Login".

+ + +

Select an option for the fingerprint you want to register. You may choose your right index finger, your left index finger, or a different finger. Then select "Forward".

+ + +

Swipe the finger you selected three times at moderate speed over your fingerprint reader.

After the third swipe, you will see the message "Done!"

+ + +

Select "Forward". You will see a confirmation message that your fingerprint was saved successfully. Select "Close" to finish.

+ + +
+
+

Now check that your new fingerprint login works. If you register a fingerprint, you still have the option to log in with your password.

+ + +

Save any open work, and then logout. Select your name in the upper right-hand corner and then select "Log Out...".

+ + +

A confirmation message will appear. Select "Log Out" to confirm. The login screen appears.

+ + +

At the login screen, select your user name from the list. The password entry form will appear.

+ + +

Within 30 seconds, select the fingerprint button above and to the right of your name.

+ +

The fingerprint button is labeled with a picture of a hand. If the timer runs out, the button will disappear and you will only be permitted to login with a password. If you want to try again, select the "Cancel" button and return to the previous step.

+ + + +

Swipe the finger you registered over your fingerprint scanner. You will be logged in.

+ + +

If you previously created a login keyring, it is secured by your password. To unlock it, enter your password.
