If you have a laptop that has a fingerprint reader, you can setup fingerprint login. This will allow you to scan your fingerprint instead of entering your password when you sign into your computer.

Setup

1. Search for Fingerprint in the Windows search bar and select Set up fingerprint sign-in.
   
   2. Click on Fingerprint recognition, then click Set up.
   
   3. Now it will ask you to repeatedly lift and rest your finger on the sensor. Be sure to keep your finger still while it is on the sensor.
   Follow the instructions on the screen.
   

4. Now you will be prompted to create a PIN. This is necessary when using your fingerprint in Windows.

5. Enter your account password on the next screen. 
6. Now enter a PIN with at least 6 characters (Default is Numbers Only)

Once you have entered a PIN you are ready to use your fingerprint reader.
You can always add more fingers to use, just follow the same steps as before for each finger.
