Passwords and Security Level
If an administrator allows users to log on with a password, a high security level loses part
of its function. Even if the system is very restrictive when fingerprints are verified, the security
might suffer from users who write down passwords on notepads or choose a very simple
password, which can easily be cracked.
Fingerprint Registration
In order for a user to use a fingerprint to log on, the fingerprint must be read and stored in
a database – i.e. it has to be registered. The fingerprint data will be stored on a hard
drive.
Only an administrator can register fingerprints using the BioManager. To enrol a user,
whose username is not on the username list, see Beginning Fingerprint Registration of a
New User in this chapter. To enrol a user listed in the BioManager, see Beginning Finger-
print Registration of an Existing User in this chapter.
Beginning Fingerprint Registration of a New User

1. Click Start > Programs > Precise Biometrics > BioManager.
