  1. Fingerprint reader to login to a program


    Hello,

    I want to login to a program with a fingerprint reader I know about Windows hello and that you can login to sites and all. So my thing is, I need a reader that can scan about 15 people and according to the finger the person should be logged in to his/her user. Also it would be nice to have it not only automatically enter the password but also the username but that's only optional. I want to use this on a program and not to login to a windows user. So does this work 1. With windows hello and has the program to support hello and 2. If it does not work with hello is there a reader that has a software to exactly this?

    If more info is needed I can provide them.

    Thanks in advance

  4. Fingerprint reader to login to a program

    Instal stand alone Fingerprint Reader.

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I will assist you with this.

    If you upgraded from a previous version of Windows or have an older fingerprint reader, your fingerprint reader might continue to work with Windows, but it won't be listed in Biometric Devices. In that case, you can try updating the driver. If you're using
    fingerprint management software and you want to uninstall it to update it to a newer version, make sure you know your Windows password. You'll have to restart your computer and log on again after uninstalling the fingerprint management software.

    If the drivers are not available for Windows 10 I suggest you to install it in compatibility mode and see if it helps.

    To install in Compatibility Mode, follow these steps:

    a. Locate the executable file (.exe file) for the driver installation program.

    b. Right-click the file, and then click Properties.

    c. In the Package Name Properties dialog box, click the
    Compatibility tab
    .

    d. Click to select the Run this program in compatibility mode for check box, click Windows 8 with which it is compatible with in the
    Run this program in compatibility mode for list, and then click
    OK
    .

    e. Double-click the executable file to start the installation program.

    Hope the above information helps. Reply with necessary information and the result to help you further. Thank you.
