How to Sign in to Windows 11 with Fingerprint?

The new Windows 11 brings with it many new features and improvements. On Windows 11, you can sign in with your finger if your computer can process biometric data. Your PC needs a fingerprint sensor or reader to read your fingerprint. If your computer does not have a fingerprint reader, you can purchase an external reader, connect it to your computer via USB, and use it that way. You can use any finger to create a fingerprint profile.

Fingerprint recognition is part of the Windows Hello security feature, offering more sign-in options. You can sign in to Windows with a picture password, a PIN, or your face. Hello’s fingerprint is secure because it’s tied to a specific device. A user can only log in to your computer when your machine recognizes a fingerprint. You will not need to remember a strong password because you will use your fingerprint to sign in to your PC.
