If there is a problem with one finger, still there are 9 fingers with which the fingerprint technology can be used. Windows fingerprint login provides the ability to enroll multiple fingers. Thus it provides an extremely secure user authentication method. This template does not contain enough data to reproduce the fingerprint image. When a fingerprint is scanned, only the distinct features of the fingerprint are identified, processed and stored as a template. Privacy concerns have also been taken care of in Windows fingerprint login. Windows 8.1 users can also establish a remote desktop connection using fingerprint-based authentication. The only requirement for this is the Microsoft account authorizing the transaction should be associated with the Windows user on the PC where the transaction is being performed. Users can now access Windows store and purchase apps using fingerprint authentication. In Windows 8.1 fingerprint authentication is better integrated into the OS enabling users to easily set up fingerprint-scanning devices and take advantage of fingerprint-based authentication. This has also improved the scalability and availability of this biometric technology. Windows integrated fingerprint login through WBF has been able to overcome all these disadvantages by providing a standard platform for fingerprint readers leading to a consistent user experience. Prior to the implementation of integrated Windows fingerprint login using WBF, different fingerprint readers had its own set of proprietary solutions leading to increased cost, incompatibility issues and reduced user satisfaction.
WBF provides a common-management platform for all fingerprint readers thus creating a mass-market opportunity and making biometrics solution quite easily available to consumers. The WBF was initially implemented on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 and now it’s available on all Windows OS. Fingerprint biometrics solution is the most real-time authentication available and its integration within Windows OS is helping enterprises deploy fingerprint authentication technology on a larger scale. Windows fingerprint login is implemented in PCs using the WBF and is a remarkable evolution in biometrics security.
