We have been living with fingerprint reader technology for unlocking our mobile multimedia devices for a few years now. It is a convenient system, that saves us a lot of time and bother. Why not implement it on our PCs too? Now you can, using the fingerprint reader on your Android handset. Would you like to know how to go about it?
Unlock your Windows PC safely and remotely using the fingerprint sensor on your Android.
The easiest way to unlock your computer
If you have a PC with Windows Vista or higher, you will be able to unlock your PC with your fingerprint by installing the Remote Fingerprint Unlock APK file onto your Android device. Then, you will have to download and install the app onto your computer with the module that is compatible with your version of Windows. Next, you will be able to connect your PC to your Android device using the IP, Bluetooth or by scanning the available terminals.
Using the free version of this tool you can configure the remote unlocking of one single computer using your Android’s fingerprint reader. However, if you buy the pro app you will be able to manage several Windows computers and even manage several accounts on each PC. If you want to save yourself a few seconds every time you need to unlock and get into your PC, this application is just the ticket.
