It is important to protect the private or personal information you have stored on your laptop. There are many ways you can protect your PC by using a host of solutions that can be used to make sure that no one can access the data on your PC unauthorised. The PC suite in windows allows a user to use face recognition, fingerprint scans and security keys to authenticate the access provided.
If the computer that has these log-in options is situated in a busy office or is used by multiple people, it is tedious to keep a track of the passcode or ensure that the system recognises each person’s face or fingerprint. It is easier to remove the sign-in option from your PC.
