If multiple users share your VAIO computer or there is a possibility that any person other
than you uses the computer, it is recommended that you enhance the security strength as
follows in the FastAccess settings window:

Rejecting the recognition with a photo
If your VAIO computer fails to recognize your face, move your head so that the face is
located in the center of the computer screen and a green frame is displayed.
If it takes time for face recognition, you can improve the face recognition rate by signing in
to Windows with password entry while a green frame is displayed on the computer screen.
