Re: Does Windows XP have native fingerprint authentication support?



No, you have to install the software that came with the reader. A Fingerprint reader is just another piece of hardware that needs the right drivers/software to work properly.

I got a new laptop that has fingerprint reader for alternative authentication. It comes with a 3rd party software that supports fingerprint authentication. However, I want to know if Windows XP has native fingerprint authentication support? That is, after installing the Fp reader driver, can Windows XP itself support authenticating with FP, withour 3rd party software?
