How to set up Windows7 system fingerprint recognition function

A lot of notebooks nowadays 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.

Operation steps

1, click Start, All Programs, Windows
Update, click the Check for Updates button.

2. Open Windows Update and select the detected fingerprint device driver and click the Install Update button.

3. After the fingerprint identification device driver is installed, you need to restart the computer. After the computer restarts, click Start, Control Panel, Hardware and Sound, Biometric Devices.

4. Open the Windows Biometrics device and click Manage Fingerprint Data.

5. Click “Manage Fingerprint Data" Click on the finger icon you want to set and enter the Windows account password.

6. Enter the password and put your finger on the fingerprint reader to scan the fingerprint information according to the screen prompt information.

Scanning fingerprints

After fingerprint scanning, log off the computer and log in to Windows by scanning the fingerprint. The frequent occurrence of privacy breaches has made everyone pay more and more attention to information security, which 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 feature, "Security" and "Convenience" can be combined.
