    As you can see from the picture, I do not have a password option, and Fingerprint is locked.Because of this...1. BEcause the Recovery Options Including Reset require passwords, I can't use those at all.2. Things that require my Windows password for some reason will also be locked.3. Because the Fingerprint Sensor is blocked, I can't conveniently sign in just by a finger scan..This is not good. Any fixes?And, no, I can't switch to local accounts.

    :)

    PIN + Fingerprint but no password option?


    Preinstalled OS on new laptop w/fingerprint reader. Starting the machine I was prompted for a PIN and then my fingerprint but not a (the) password that I use on my Win7 machine and is required for various installed programs and the home network. I must be blind but Settings/Accounts/Sign-in Options is all for my MS account not the machine.

    Nothing under Settings/Privacy or /Updates and Security.

    Okay, I'll bite, where is 'give this OS a password' hidden?

    Fingerprint sensor option removed after latest windows update

    I have found that after the latest Window Update, I no longer have the option of logging in to Windows 'Hello' by using the fingerprint sensor OR my windows password, but only the PIN. Since my laptop does in fact have a fingerprint sensor, I'd at least like to have the possibility of using it. At first I thought this might be due to an outdated driver (there is in fact a newer Biometric driver available, but I cannot install it), but I am convinced that this is a Windows issue. I don't want to have to do a system restore to fix it, as that is always only a temporary solution.
