Customizing Your VAIO Computer
Using Fingerprint Authentication
Your computer is equipped with a fingerprint sensor to provide you with additional convenience. A small horizontal bar located
at the upper left of the touch panel LCD screen is the sensor of the fingerprint reader and will be referred to as the fingerprint
sensor hereinafter.
Once you have registered your fingerprint(s), the fingerprint authentication functionality offers:
❑ A substitute for password entry
You can log onto your password-protected system without entering the power-on, hard disk, and Windows passwords. If
you share a computer with other people, you can skip user selection as well.
❑ Quick Web site access
Once you have registered your user information (user accounts, passwords, etc.) for Web sites in the password bank, you
can substitute fingerprint authentication for entering required information and access the password-protected Web sites.
❑ Access to the data in the encrypted (locked) archive
You can unlock encrypted archives that you created with the File Safe feature to access the files and folders in the archive
by swiping your finger across the fingerprint sensor or entering the backup password you specified encryption.
❑ Quick application access
Once you have assigned an application to your finger, you can then swipe the finger across the fingerprint sensor to
launch the assigned application.
