Setting up fingerprint ID
Step 1: Open Windows Settings
- Select the gear icon
- In the Settings window, select "Accounts."
- In the Accounts section, choose "Sign-in options" from the left sidebar.
- Scroll down to the "Windows Hello" section. If your device supports fingerprint authentication, you should see an option labeled "Fingerprint" or "Windows Hello Fingerprint" under "Sign-in options."
If you are setting up a Windows device for the first time, you will be asked to setup fingerprint ID during the setup.
Step 2: Enroll your fingerprint
- Click on "Set up" under the Fingerprint section.
- You may be prompted to enter your PIN, password, or pattern to verify your identity.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to scan your fingerprint. You'll need to lift and rest your finger on the scanner several times to capture different parts of your fingerprint.
Step 3: Test your fingerprint
- After setup is complete, you can test your fingerprint by locking your device and then using your fingerprint to unlock it.
