Hi,

I just got a ThinkPad equipped with a fingerprint reader. I set it up and it works just fine. However, whenever the login screen is displayed, there is a button labeled "Other Crenditials". I have to click this button and then select the fingerprint reader, at which time I am prompted to swipe my finger. By the time I go through all this I could have logged in with my password. Does anyone know if I can make the "Other Crenditails" a defalult? IMHO, all the extra clicking defeates the purpose of have the fingerprint reader.

Thanks,

Tom

Hi Tom and welcome to the forums :party:

What is the model number of your ThinkPad (we need the following information: Family, Type and Model)? This information will assist us to help you find a solution (if any) to your query. In the meantime, here is a link to the relevant Lenovo webpage which should be able to help you. You will need to provide the information that I asked for. If this does help you, please reply with your solution so that others who have the same or similar problem might benefit. You could also try the forums (also accessible from the link below or from the separate link).

Hi,

I don't know if this resolved my issue, but I downloaded some thinkpad updates. After I rebooted, "Othter Credentials" appears as a login option. I just swipe the FP reader and I am logged in. I know it is not a big deal to type in a password, but the FP reader is really cool.

Thanks for the quick reply,

Regards,

Tom
