How to Log On Windows 10 Using Fingerprint - Activation Method for Fingerprint

In Windows 10, login is not limited to using a password or a PIN code. With a new feature called Windows Hello, users can also use more intuitive means such as signing in through face recognition or fingerprinting. By recognizing the features of your face you are recognized as your identity and then unlock the protection or fingerprint as in the phones.


 But your computer must be supported by any of these methods. The laptop must have a fingerprint reader. If not, you can buy a Fingerprint Scanner USB that performs the same function via a USB port. Or use different methods like logging in with a strawberry! Anyway, let me explain in this article how to activate the footprint in Windows 10 which is very simple does not even require the use of any additional programs.

Log on in Windows 10 using the footprint:
First, go to the Settings application from the Start menu and click on the "Settings" icon on the left side. Or by clicking on the Action Center icon and then clicking Settings. Or press the Windows logo + i button together on the keyboard, all of them are ways to access the settings window. From there go to the Accounts section and then on the left side click on Sign-in options to find on the right side a set of options to control the disable / activate the devices to unlock the protection of the screen Lock Screen on Windows 10. You will notice among the tools you will find Windows Hello and if Your laptop has a fingerprint reader, you will press the Set up button to start activating it and then use it to sign in with your fingerprint.

First, after pressing the Set Up button, the Welcome to Windows Hello screen will appear. Press the Get Started button until you move on to the second step.
