Using the fingerprint reader

Depending on the model, your computer might have a fingerprint reader. Fingerprint authentication can
replace your Windows password. In this way, you can log in to your computer simply and securely. To
enable fingerprint authentication, enroll your fingerprints first.
You can set the fingerprint reader in the fingerprint program if available. You also can change the following
settings in the ThinkPad Setup program. To change the settings in the ThinkPad Setup program, see "Using
the ThinkPad Setup program" on page 47.
Enrolling your fingerprints
To enable fingerprint authentication, enroll your fingerprints first. It is recommended that you enroll more
than one fingerprint in case of any injuries to your fingers.
To enroll your fingerprints, do the following:
1. Open the Start menu and then click Settings ➙ Accounts ➙ Sign-in options.
2. Follow the instructions on the screen to finish the enrollment.
Swiping your finger over the fingerprint reader
To swipe your finger over the reader, place the top joint of your finger on the sensor. Then apply light
pressure and swipe your finger toward you across the reader in one smooth motion. Do not lift your finger
when you are swiping it.
