Overview about Fingerprint Single sign-on feature
This is a feature that allows the user to complete the authentication for both
the User/BIOS Password (and, if applicable, the HDD(Hard Disk Drive)
Password) and logging onto Windows using only one fingerprint
authentication when booting up.
It is necessary to register the User/BIOS Password and Windows Logon
Password before using the fingerprint boot authentication and this
fingerprint Single sign-on feature. Please use the TOSHIBA Password
Utility to register your User/BIOS Password. If Windows Logon is not the
default for your system, see Manual to register your Windows Logon
Password.
Only one fingerprint authentication is required to replace the User/BIOS
Password (and, if applicable, the HDD(Hard Disk Drive) Password) and the
Windows Logon Password.
