[Chromebook] How to Set Up Fingerprint Recognition on Chromebook
Fingerprint recognition allows you to quickly unlock your Chromebook, replacing traditional password entry and providing enhanced convenience and security. This article will guide you through the process of setting up fingerprint recognition on your Chromebook. You can use your fingerprint to unlock the Chromebook or log in to websites and apps that support fingerprint authentication.
Please note that you can only use your password in the following scenarios:
