Win 7 lock switch or fingerprint utility

This isn't real bug but improvement tips.

Toshiba Fingerprint Utility allows only the connection of the lock for a locked user screen in fact a computer (for example using closing the lid). This is a limitation of Windows 7/Vista (opposite on WinXP) this lock screen can't show other users (tried to hack in every possible way, but it is impossible, at least with current Win upgrades). If another user wants to connect with finger reader, then click on "Switch user". It's actually very embarrassing.

On the other side, Toshiba face recognition is able to "switch" recognized user, even if it is not locked, but it is much too much slower than the finger approach.

So until Microsoft does not receive back behavior as in Windows XP which was much better too, I suggest that you use the approach of face recognition. Your users will love...

Best regards

> If another user wants to connect with finger reader, then click on "Switch user". It's actually very embarrassing.
Thanks for sharing, but I think it s not really a pain to use the option switch user to connect using a different user account. But of course, it's my personal opinion

  • Portege Z830 - Fingerprint Utility not to enroll fingerprints

    I just bought the Portege Z830, and fingerprint utility allow me to register fingerprints.

    So after some research, apparently, I need to delete the memory via "TrueSuite Access Manager", but I don't seem to have this program on the laptop.

    Any help would be great.

    Also anyone know how I can synchronize the utility of fingerprints with firefox, so I can just use it instead of enter my sign in details and passwords on Web sites? (Im not sure if the fingerprints of toshiba program can do this, but my sony vaio program can therefore was wondering)

    Thank you.

    Hello

    > Also does anyone know how I can synchronize the utility of fingerprints with firefox, so I can just use it instead of enter my sign in details and passwords on Web sites?

    As far as I know it was supported under Win XP and I think that this should also work in Win 7

    Support for laptop and Authentec Fingerprint Software (TrueSuite)
    The latest version of the software appears to be available for Portege Z930.
    On the European driver Toshiba page, you might find the v version 2.0.0.9 for Win 7 64 bit

    I recommend that you install this if you cannot find the software on your HARD drive.

  • Fingerprint utility - where do I store data?

    Hello

    I don't have a problem with my toshiba Notebook but I have a question for understandig better how the fingerprintutility works

    Why:

    In addition to the win7 preinstalled, I installed win8.1. on my laptop (and for some win10 zp also Tests)

    As I tried to register finerprint even earn 8.1. and win10 as in win7 the utility came up with
    the message, that this finger is already registered and collapsed registry process

    So I ask you:

    Why fingerprint utility, know that fingerprint is stored in an operating system that is not
    up and running?

    In the end, I took three different fingers for my three different operating systems and all works well

    Thank your for tips to better understand how this utility works

    Kurt

    Is that fingerprints are stored and saved in a special sensor box (hardware).
    If the fingerprint is already saved in windows system, you can not record the same footprint once more, using another system.

    I think even says it all if your laptop is a fingerprint reader you need of this tool/driver to use. Otherwise you don t need. ;)
    In general fingerprint reader and the utility can be used to replace the Windows login password. You can use your finger to login to Windows if you have the fingerprint reader.

    2 registry patch
    Everything about these patches you can find on the driver on Toshiba page Details:

    Yes, it's possible just type msconfig in the search and launch the tool.
    Now, go to the Startup tab and uncheck the line where is mentioned the Toshiba Fingerprint Utility

  • Fingerprint utility-Windows 7 64-bit

    The utility of fingerprints was released on 25 July (or earlier) - util_fingerprint_TC00187100A - does not work with Windows 7 RC X 64. According to me, it was working fine with the 32-bit version.

    With the 64-bit version and the error is generated that the fingerprint sensor is not found.

    In order to use the fingerprint sensor, most of us who have assessed the 64 bit version of Windows 7 have to rely on the Windows 7 driver and software. However, this driver seems not to be infallible in what becomes inoperative coming out of sleep.

    I don't know if Toshiba really watching this site, but would be interested in hearing the reactions of others to the utility of fingerprinting.

  • Fingerprint utility doesn't work for normal users - Tecra M11

    Hi all

    I installed windows 7 pro laptop Tecra M11 and the Toshiba finger print utility does not work for normal users.
    This works only for domain administrators. The TFPU is not working is not for users in the normal domain, local users, local administrators. If we run the utility, it will ask you to enter the password of windows, and once we have applied the password, then the message saying 'entered password is not valid' will invite even if we try to use the utility first.

    If we try with a domain administrator account, it will work without any problem. Can someone help me just shoot this question?
    Thank you.

    How many people and how many accounts should work on this laptop?

    To be honest I don t know what do you mean under normal users
    Install OS and create user account/accounts, define the utility of fingerprints and let us know if it works properly.

  • Need to Win 64-bit XP to fingerprints digital and modem driver for Tecra A9-s9016x

    I installed a Windows XP x 64 system in a Tecra A9-s9016x model and I can't get the fingerprint and intall correctly for modem drivers.
    I need these two pilots and were unable to bring them into the Toshiba support page.

    Any ideas where I can get the drivers?

    You won't find these drivers.

    The 64-bit of Windows XP was not so popular like Win XP 32 bit and the drivers have not been released by Toshiba.
    In some cases, the 32-bit drivers running on 64 bit OS, but if you have already tried to install Win XP32bit driver and if it didn't work then I doubt that your will be able to get this running devices.

  • Cannot open files locked by using fingerprints on Tecra A11 - 17 H

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Tecra A11 - 17 H - PTSE0E-03402EFR
    OS is Windows 7 64 bit

    Here's my problem:
    I blocked files (image, text) with fingerprints, while I was running Windows XP Professional.

    I copied my files without unlocked on external hard drive, and then uninstalled XP and installed Windows 7.
    After the relocation, the fingerprint reader has stopped working.
    I had to download the drivers and software on the Toshiba site.

    I then put my transferred on the external hard drive on the computer, but now it is impossible to open the file.
    Extension has been changed (automatically), an fpl. came to added after the original extension.

    I tried fpl removed, but nothing happens.
    When I right-click, I do not have the option 'unblock, but rather "to protect the file".

    I understand (reading the forum) that fingerprinting technology TPM consists of a microchip containing a unique computer decryption key.
    Theoretically, it would be possible to unlock my files, since it is the same computer...

    Help me please...

    Please read this:
    [Cannot access protected fingerprint after recovery files | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9802O50000R01.htm]

    _Issue: _
    A user can access its files of fingerprints protected when you save these files on external storage as for example a network drive and perform a recovery or reinstallation of the operating system on the computer where the files are protected.

    Individual: _
    AuthenTec fingerprint software provides a feature called 'the file/folder protection' which gives the user the ability to protect files without worrying if stored locally, on an external (USB flash memory) or network storage with either a password or stored fingerprints. After you protect the files, they cannot be moved/copied/deleted until the user Déprotège them.

    The first cause of the above mentioned scenario is due to the fact that the fingerprint software "Authentec" creates a link between material installed fingerprint and file system on the HARD disk that functions as a key. This connection is deleted after a formatting or removal of the hard drive of the computer. Without this connection, the files are no longer accessible and the user will not be able to unprotect them since there is no "key", that could unlock the file protection.

    _Resolution: _
    To avoid any loss of data caused by this scenario, * you need to unprotect the files before storing the files on external media * for purposes of backup/storage and then reinstall the operating system.
    Generally, users should make sure to keep a backup accessible to external storage of data corruption and data loss.

  • Screen lock switch off wifi until this that unlocked?

    Recently, I noticed that my Bionic seems to disconnect WiFi when the screen freezes. When I unlock the screen (and I have the motive to peas unlock), there is no icon wifi for a few seconds.

    I have unlimited data, but still keep my DB on wifi all the time at home and the office. I guess that DB going in 3G or 4G mode when it is locked, which could be problematic if I had a plan of measured data. Anyone else notice this behavior?

    I noticed this also, in my view, there may be a setting for this property.

    Settings > & wireless > Wi - Fi settings

    Press the menu button, click on "Advanced".

    > Wi - Fi sleep policy

    > When the screen turns off

    > Never while it is plugged

    > Never

    Although I set it to never, and he constantly turns off Wi - Fi anyway. This could be another parameter, although I doubt it has much to do with power on/off Wi - Fi.

    Settings > Data Manager & battery > battery Mode

    Customize it to your liking, you can set your quiet hours, i.e. the hours that you are more likely not to use any data. This tells your phone to enable the data off after x minutes of being asleep. You can also set your hours peak, where you will probably use data, but for some cases that you will be gone for a while and it will turn off usually given after a longer period of time than off-peak hours. But I think it doesn't affect the Mobile data (3G / 4G) and will not affect the Wifi.

    I hope that I have provided at least an idea!
