  1. Sign-in options


    Hello,


    I recently just got the latest update and my fingerprint scanner to log into my desktop is no longer working. I went in to settings and it says that this option is not available on my device. Anyone know why it's saying that and what I can do to change this?

    :)

  2. password sign in

    Hi,

    About your concern with typing the password after being idle, it is actually recommended to activate for security reasons.

    If you wish to disable it, I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

    • Go to Settings.
    • Click on Accounts.
    • Click on Sign in options.
    • On the right side, you will see required sign in.
    • Change it to Never.

    Let us know how it goes.
