Unlock your PC using your Android's fingerprint sensor
Remote Fingerprint Unlock is an Android application that allows us to lock and unlock our PC using our phone's fingerprint sensor. And it does so by means of Windows Fingerprint Unlock Module, an application that has to be installed on Windows and allows us to interact with this app.
Protect your PC by unlocking it with your fingerprint
This program is inspired by one of the main functions of Samsung Flow, which can be used to unlock a PC from a phone made by the South Korean brand. By installing it we can see how our system's lock screen has a new user profile, which allows us to unlock it from our Android.
The configuration has to be carried out from our smartphone once we've downloaded it and we'll have to have both devices connected to the same WiFi network.
With this application, we can have an extra security layer and make sure that nobody else can really unlock our PC, not even by trying luck with different PINs and passwords.
Requirements and additional information:
- Minimum operating system requirements: Windows Vista.
