Fingerprint Utility This product has a fingerprint utility installed for 
the purpose of enrolling and recognizing 
fingerprints which can then be linked to a 
username and password in order to remove the 
need to input these details from the keyboard. 
Just by swiping an enrolled finger against the 
fingerprint sensor, the following functions will be 
enabled:
■ Logon to Windows and access a security 
enabled homepage through Internet Explorer.
■ Files and folders can be encrypted/decrypted 
and third party access to them is prevented.
■ Disable the password-protected screen-saver 
when returning from a power-saving mode 
such as Sleep Mode.
■ Authentication of the User Password (and, 
if applicable, the HDD(Hard Disk Drive) 
Password) when booting up the computer 
(Power-on Security).
■ Single Sign-on feature
Fingerprint security cannot be used in models that do not have a fingerprint 
module installed.
TOSHIBA Face 
Recognition*
TOSHIBA Face Recognition uses a face 
verification library to verify the face data of users 
when they log in to Windows. If the verification is 
successful, the user will be logged into Windows 
automatically. The user can thus avoid having to 
enter a password or the like, which makes the 
login process easier.
