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

    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.

      that’s really weird. I worked in healthcare and literally never saw that once that was a decade ago now, but still.

      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
