Security via the fingerprint sensor on your Galaxy handset
Do you own a fingerprint scanner-toting Samsung Galaxy phone and a Windows 10 computer? If so, you might soon be able to unlock that PC with your handset’s digit reader.
This will allegedly happen via Samsung’s Flow app (for W10), which already allows Galaxy TabPro S users to unlock their tablet in this manner, but Samsung has decided to expand it to cover all Windows 10 PCs, according to a report on Sammobile .
Apparently there’s been some considerable cajoling to see this feature rolled out more widely, and Samsung support confirmed to a customer that the Flow app will be rejigged for fingerprint reader support across the board after the Creators Update arrives for Windows 10 (which should be in April).
Biometric authentication is becoming increasingly prevalent thanks to Windows Hello , which is part of Windows 10’s all-round tighter security – it lets you log in securely with a fingerprint sensor or webcam (facial recognition).
