<title>Log in with a fingerprint</title>
<p>If your system has a supported fingerprint scanner, you can record your
fingerprint and use it to log in. You must have administrative privileges to
perform these steps.</p>
<p>First, record a fingerprint the system can use to identify you.</p>
<note style="tip">
<p>If your finger is too dry, you may have difficulty registering your
fingerprint. If this happens, moisten your finger slightly, dry it with a clean,
lint-free cloth, and retry.</p>
</note>
<steps>
<item>
<p>Click your name on the top bar, then click the picture next to your
name to open the <gui>User Accounts</gui> window.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Unlock your account using the <gui>Unlock</gui> button in the top-right
corner of the <gui>User Accounts</gui> tool.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Enter your password at the prompt.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Select the <gui>Disabled</gui> option next to <gui>Fingerprint Login</gui>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Select an option for the fingerprint you want to register. You may
choose your right index finger, your left index finger, or a different
finger. Then select <gui>Forward</gui>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Swipe the finger you selected three times at a <em>moderate speed</em>
over your fingerprint reader. Each time the fingerprint reader recognizes
your fingerprint properly, the corresponding picture of a hand will
transform into a picture of a fingerprint with a check mark. After the
third swipe, you will see the message <gui>Done!</gui></p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Select <gui>Forward</gui>. You will see a confirmation message that
your fingerprint was saved successfully. Select <gui>Close</gui> to finish.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<p>Now check that your new fingerprint login works. If you register a
fingerprint, you still have the option to log in with your password.</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>Save any open work, and then log out. Select your name in the upper
right-hand corner and then select <gui>Log Out...</gui>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>A confirmation message will appear. Select <gui>Log Out</gui> to confirm.
The login screen appears.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>At the login screen, select your user name from the list. The password
entry form will appear.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Within 30 seconds, select the fingerprint button above and to the right
of your name.</p>
<note>
<p>The fingerprint button is labeled with a picture of a hand. If the
timer runs out, the button will disappear and you will only be permitted
to log in with a password. If you want to try again, select the
<gui>Cancel</gui> button and return to the previous step.</p>
</note>
</item>
<item>
<p>Swipe the finger you registered at a <em>moderate</em> speed over your
fingerprint scanner. You will be logged in.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<p>If you previously created a login keyring, it is secured by your password.
To unlock it, enter your password.</p>
