    I just received my E6400 from Dell today and setup the fingerprint reader. I noticed it only works when I boot up the notebook and then I scan to get to the windows login screen. I was wondering If I can set it up so that I scan to login to windows rather than typing in a password. I was also wondering If I could configure it to login to websites for things such as email since I know you can do that with Windows Fingerprint Reader.

    Thanks

    In the Dell EMBASSY security centre there is an option to use 'Password and Biometrics' at the log on screen. That way, if the fingerprint scanner doesn't like you on a particular day, the password will work as well.

    It took me a while to get through all the options, because you can set up a pre-bootstrap password, which I disabled. It was a bit over the top for my needs.
