W.U. > Hello, > > I have a suggestion/request for improving logging in using one's fingerprint > unsing the graphical login. > > The normal process of logging in using one's fingerprint happens like this: > 1) The computer boots into the graphical login and presents the user an > opportunity to log in. > 2) Instead of entering a password to log in, the user presses the "Enter" > key. > 3) A dialog box appears that reads "Scan right index finger on UPEK Eikon 2" > with only a single button labeled "OK", and the fingerprint reader lights up. > > At this point, the fingerprint reader passively refuses to read a > fingerprint. > The fingerprint reader will not begin scanning any fingerprints until the > user > clicks the "OK" button in the dialog. > 4) The user clicks the "OK" button in the dialog, and the fingerprint reader > is ready to begin accepting fingerprint scans. > 5) The dialog box disappears. > 6) The user scans their fingerprint and login is completed upon a > successfully > validated scan. > > This process flow has a problem at Step 3.
