In addition to this, the software comes with a password manager that can protect access to websites and programs. Thus, it enables you to enroll fingerprints and provides a reliable communication method between the computer and the hardware reader device.
#DIGITALPERSONA FINGERPRINT SOFTWARE 5.30 PC#
The main purpose of DigitalPersona Fingerprint Reader Software is to strengthen PC security by using fingerprint authentication. In addition, every time you open it, the software verifies your identity with an enrolled fingerprint or the logon password. When running it for the first time, the program runs the 'Getting Started' wizard, which guides you through all the necessary steps for setting up the fingerprint reader and your login account details. Especially designed for notebooks or laptops, this application provides an additional layer of security to your computer and private data. Good luck.As its name suggests, DigitalPersona Fingerprint Reader Software is an application that you can use to access your PC using your fingerprints. So far I have not encountered any issues. Now lock your screen (or put the computer to sleep or reboot it…) and then try to un-lock it through the fingerprint sensor, if you did everything as described above, it will un-lock the screen. You can add multiple fingerprints using it as well. It will guide you through the process, which is extremely simple & easy.
Step 3: Once you are inside the metro application, look under ‘Fingerprint’ and click the ‘Add’ button. Then select and launch ‘set up fingerprint sign-in’ as shown below. To launch this GUI, press the ‘Windows key’ again, and type in the below term: Although the one that came with the Dell’s official Validity sensor for Windows 7 had pretty nifty features, since our objective is to make the sensor available at login only, the Windows tool is more than enough. Step 2: Windows 8.1 includes built-in support (GUI) for configuring & enabling a fingerprint sensor at login screen. Once the download finishes, double-click on the setup and it will guide you through the installation (you might have to restart the PC at the end).

Step 1: Go to this official Lenovo driver download page and obtain the driver. If it displays something else (a generic term like ‘fingerprint sensor’) or does not even have a ‘Biometric devices’ section, then please start off with Step 1 for properly installing & configuring it. If under ‘Biometric devices’ it says ‘Synaptic FP Sensor (WBF) (PID=0011) as shown below, then you can jump to ‘ Step 2…’ directly.
To verify that, press the ‘Windows key’ + ‘r’, this will open up the ‘Run’ dialog-box, and then enter the below command, which in turn will open-up the ‘Device Manager’:
#DIGITALPERSONA FINGERPRINT SOFTWARE 5.30 WINDOWS 8.1#
Because I have read some claiming that Windows 8.1 being able to recognize it, after an update. The installation is very simple & easy, and I have (as usual), written it down, step by step.īefore we begin, let us make sure that Windows 8.1 has not actually recognized the Validity fingerprint sensor (5011), just to make sure. So I decided to write a ‘how to ‘ article, hoping that someone having the same issue would find it quite liberating □. As a result, I found a driver for it through Lenovo’s website, that supports Windows 8.1 (32/64 bit). Luckily though, this fingerprint sensor is somewhat popular and various other manufacturers also include it in some of their products. Now Dell on their website does provide us with a driver for ‘Windows 8…’ however, while trying to install, it gave me an error (basically saying that it does not support Windows 8/8.1) and quit. But I do put my laptop to sleep quite often, and since having to re-type the password every time I turn it ON is quite a burden, I decided to find a way to make it work in Windows 8.1. I actually never quite used it that much (even in Windows 7 that came pre-installed), and as a result, was only aware this issue very recently. Validity Fingerprint Sensor 5011 that came with my Dell Vostro V131, stopped working after I switched to Windows 8.1.
