Until I get ALL the functionality I currently have with Windows 7, I won't be switching to Windows 10 anytime soon. I performed a clean, fresh install of Windows 10 Pro alongside my existing Windows 7 Ultimate, so I can dual boot. I would like to use it to enter passwords for protected files and web page inputs. By the way I've already tried using gpedit.msc to Enable 'Allow the use of biometrics' but this doesn't appear to make the slightest bit of difference.Īlternatively, is there any Windows 10 compatible software out there that will do more than simply allow me to use my fingerprint reader to login. I can successfully setup Windows 10 Hello to use the fingerprint reader to login to Windows 10, but this is a small fraction of the potential of using fingerprints.Īnyone any idea on how to enable Windows Biometric Framework. It gives the error 'To use this product, Windows Biometric Framework must be enabled.'. Brilliant!Īlong comes Windows 10 and I can't get Protector Suite 2012 to install.

The software maintained a database, which allowed any entry of a password to be stored against a fingerprint.Ĭonsequently, I've become used to simply swiping the fingerprint reader to enter all my passwords. The Protector Suite software allowed me to login to windows using a fingerprint and to use fingerprints to open password protected files as well as entering passwords into web screens. I've been using Windows 7 Ultimate for a few years now with AuthenTec Protector Suite 2012 installed and a TrueMe fingerprint reading device.
