Customizing Your VAIO Computer
Using Fingerprint Authentication
Your computer may be equipped with a fingerprint sensor to provide you with additional convenience. A small horizontal bar 
located at the upper right of the keyboard is the sensor of the fingerprint reader and will be referred to as the fingerprint sensor 
hereinafter.
Once you have registered your fingerprint(s), the fingerprint authentication functionality offers:
❑ A substitute for password entry
❑ Logging onto Windows 
If you have enrolled your fingerprints for your user account, you can substitute fingerprint authentication for password 
entry when logging onto Windows.
❑ Power-on Security feature 
If you have set the power-on password 
 and/or the hard disk password 
, you can substitute 
fingerprint authentication for password entry when starting your computer.
❑ Password Bank for quick Web site access 
You can substitute fingerprint authentication for entering information (user accounts, passwords, etc.) required to access 
the password-protected Web sites.
❑ File Safe feature to encrypt/decrypt data 
With the File Safe feature, you can encrypt files and folder to create an encrypted archive. To decrypt or access such 
encrypted archives, you can use the fingerprint authentication or enter the password you specified for encryption.
❑ Application launcher function for quick application access 
Once you have assigned an application to your finger, you can then swipe the finger across the fingerprint sensor to 
launch the assigned application.
