    Yeah, you could enter a PIN, or select "other options" to use one of your other sign-in options.

    It sounds like the HP SimplePass may have been causing an issue.

    what do I do when Windows Creator tells me there is no fingerprint option?
    FP works fine in Windows Anniversary and shows up in the device manager in Creator, but Hello says it is not available.

    Hello ruggb, *Smile

    Do you mean that you do not have the "Fingerprint" option in Settings under "Windows Hello"?

    Does Device Manager show any issues with the fingerprint device?

    yes, it says the option is not available (I think, cause I reverted to 1607 since it didn't work so I can't look at it) the DM says the device is fine.

    You might see if reinstalling its drivers and restarting the computer may get it to show up afterwards.

    done all that. reinstalled creator at least twice - it works perfect with 1607
    I posted a few times about this but MS apparently "knows better". I have heard nothing from them.

    Hopefully it'll do better in the Fall Creators Update to be released possibly sometime in September. *Sad

    I'm not betting on it. There is no reason for it not to work other than maybe it is looking only for the new version of the sensor.
    Makes me mad

    You might also contact the fingerprint manufacturer to see if they may be able to have a solution via driver.

    i tried the latest driver I can find. Hello appears to have become very picky about what FPS it will use.
