All cheap smartphones have a fingerprint sensor but all laptops dont have one. Is it because of security concerns or spacing reasons?

    What country and industry do you work in? I’ve never even heard of that much less seen it in a professional capacity.

      Where I work we use passwords but I’m in the trial for Windows hello for business.

      I do know though that smart cards are very common in the healthcare industry. I know that the police also use it.

        We use Windows Hello PINs. Great when you have a 10-key (numpad) built into the laptop. Too bad it takes forever to wake. God I wish I had any MacBook.

          Like wake from sleep? My work laptop wakes very quickly from sleep. I just touch my finger on the fingerprint reader and it wakes unlocked in just a few seconds. It’s a Dell latitude 5430
