Hello All,

I have a few questions about laptops with Biometric Scanners.

1.) Is it possible to make it so you can not even turn on the computer without using the fingerprint scanner? Like setting a BIOS level password of a sorts, but instead of using a password using the fingerprint scanner.

2.) How easy would it be to bypass the security features the fingerprint scanner provides? Like for example, if I wanted to make it so I had to run my fingerprint to log into Windows, could this be bypassed by booting into safe mode?

Thanks!
Bill
