Fingerprint Single Sign-on Feature
General
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
Power-on Security 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.

application prior to enabling and configuring the Fingerprint Single Sign-on
feature. You should check that your fingerprint is enrolled before
