While you might like logging on with facial recognition, many businesses prefer the trusty thumbprint.

Apart from most Lenovo ThinkPad machines, there are only a few systems with a built-in reader, but BIO-key may soon fix that.

On show at the upcoming Ignite your Business tour, its BIO-key offers low-cost, high-performance, mobile fingerprint readers for Windows 10 that let users replace passwords and smiles with a fingerprint biometric.

The new BIO-key fingerprint readers are Windows Hello compatible plug-and-play devices, with drivers and software installed automatically via Microsoft Windows Update.

BIO-key is Microsoft’s exclusive biometric solution partner and the Ignite your Business tour will take in 12 US cities over November and December.

Each event has a keynote, business friendly breakout sessions and plenty of new hardware and software including Windows 10 and Office on show, with tracks for developers and IT professionals.

With so many business users working on the go, the risk of them losing their data through PC theft remains high, so extra security like a thumbprint will always be welcome.
