Make Fingerprint the default way to login

[newtowin7]

I just upgraded my lenovo T61p to Windows 7 Enterprise. It was using Vista business before. When i was on vista and i started or locked the laptop i was able to just swipe my finger on the fingerprint and it would log me on or unlock the laptop. I have set up the biometrics on in windows 7 but when i start or lock the computer it defaults to push Alt+Ctrl+Delete. If i push Alt+Ctrl+Delete it then give me the option of how to login (type in password, fingerprint, or guest).

How can i make it skip the Alt+Ctrl+Delete part and default to just give me option to scan my fingerprint or enter username like it worked in Vista?

Thanks for the help

I used the Windows 7 BioMetric Device to can my fingerprints and it is allowing me to login using my fingers. What i need to know is how to make Win 7 Skip the making me press Alt+Ctl+Delete before it will let me scan my finger.

Would removing/deleting password option on the account do it?

newtowin7,

Generally, responses to a thread are answers, but I have a question. I know nothing about these scanners, but your question made me curious, so I did a little searching on eBay and Google, and found a multitude of scanners available for as little as $10 to more than I could ever spend.

I know that if it were a government or business with high security documents to protect, price would be no object, but for someone that simply wants the convenience of a scanner vs typing passwords, what is the least price required to purchase a good scanner? For me, it would seem to be reliability that would be most important, as that I doubt that I will ever have anybody trying to hack my computer anyway. Of course, it would be easier for them to cut a finger off the user than cracking a good password, but I really have no worries about that.

Just a suggestion.

Start Menu > Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy > Then on the left under 'Local Policies' double click Security Options > Scroll down to 'Interactive logon: Do not require Ctrl Alt Del' double click that > select disabled.

Might be worth a shot

This is what i meant, by password removal.

Here is how to disable it:

I am reviving this thread.
I have installed the software and fingerprint login works fine.
But when I lock my login, I get my usual windows login and below other credentials. I click on other credentials and now the screen shows both my fingerprint and windows login. I click on the fingerprint login and swipe my finger and voila it works.

Now, I need the windows login to go off and show only my fingerprint login. Is this possible. I am using the Authentec TrueSuite on Acer laptop.

Hey,

You could try this article which I found useful during setup: Enable Logon Using Biometric Fingerprint Reader in Windows 7 x86 & x64

Hope it helps,

I was having this issue too, but it turns out the screen is just unclear.

They don't tell you, but you don't actually have to click "Other Credentials" and select the fingerprint login. When your usual windows login image is there, you can just swipe your finger and you'll login.

Thanks all. But I managed to get to the fingerprint logon after a restart and a fresh install of the driver I downloaded elsewhere.

Simple

For a while I was under the impression that you first had the make the selection first before using the Fingerscaner but even that the screen shows you the choice of typing the password or selecting Finger scan or at times it does not even show you the Fingerscan selection, which logically would require you to manually select one of the two, simply slide your finger with out making the selection and it will be accepted.

I've always wondered what happens if you burn your fingertip at work or home and nearly erase the print.

Hi Ch@N,

Could you please let me also know in detail. How did you manage to pull it off. I am having same trouble.

Thanks

Be careful..don't cut your finger

I've been using the fingerprint scanner on my HP and after 4 months the number of swipes to get a positive read increased a lot. I now find it easier and faster to type password. It is a cool feature when it works the first time.

I think you should try to clean it off sometime too...
Never used a fingerprint scanner to login into Windows... it seems too risky imo.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Could be a build up of oil but the scanner looks spotless but I'll try cleaning with a moist q-tip and then dry side.

If you are using Windows 7 or higher, you can use Windows Biometric Framework (WBF) to quickly and easily login to Windows with your fingerprint reader. WBF driver download page https://www.bayometric.com/fingerprint-sensor-driver/
