No need for third-party applications Teach you to set up Win7 fingerprint recognition

  
Nowadays, many laptops
are equipped with a fingerprint reader, which is much more convenient by scanning fingerprints instead of entering passwords. In the past, we needed to install a third-party application to use fingerprint recognition. In Win7, the system provides built-in support for fingerprint recognition devices. You can use fingerprint recognition in Win7 without installing any third-party applications.

Privacy The frequent occurrence of leaks has made everyone pay more and more attention to information security. This can be seen by setting an increasingly complicated password for Windows accounts. However, complex passwords are often difficult to remember, and the situation of forgetting passwords will cause trouble for them. With Win7's built-in fingerprint recognition function, "safe" and "convenient" can be combined.
