Toshiba Utilities
Fingerprint Authentication Utility
The Fast User Switching feature of the Windows
system is also supported. If user A is logged on and the
fingerprint utility verifies the fingerprint of user B (who is
already enrolled), the utility recognizes the fingerprint and
switches the users.
If your system supports power-on security, existing
fingerprint samples can be used also for power-on
authentication.

Power-on Security

The power-on security feature prevents unauthorized access
to your computer when it is turned off by requiring the user to
pass fingerprint authentication. If fingerprint authentication
fails, the user will not be able to start the computer.
When power-on security is enabled, the system asks you to
authenticate your fingerprint. You have 40 seconds to swipe
your fingerprint.
If the authentication fails, the system tries again up to two
more times. If authentication fails after the third attempt, the
system shuts down.
Enabling Power-on Security
Options for power-on security are displayed only if your
computer supports this feature. In most configurations,
power-on security is enabled automatically after the first user
fingerprints are enrolled.
To disable/enable power-on security:
1 Open the Control Center and go to Settings - Power-on
Security. (This wizard is displayed only if your system
supports power-on security.)
2 Check the option Replace the power-on and hard drive
passwords with the fingerprint reader.
