Can i use only the fingerprint reader to log onto my phone?

I'm wondering if I can by pass the 4 digit code completely and only use the fingerprint reader to log onto my 5S phone.

Yes, that's how it's designed. You only need the passcode if you haven't unlocked your iPhone within the last 48 hours.

    Turning off Home Sharing would seem the most logical step.

    Upgrading the OS does not remove your apps and purchases.

  • What can be done with the fingerprint reader?

    I am trying to figure out simply what I can do with the fingerprint reader on the T400. I understand how to use it to log into the computer. My main question is whether or not I can use the fingerprint reader in the following contexts, and if so how.
    1a) To  log into internet password protected websites. When I use IE, the password manager pops up and prompts me to save a password. If I save it, I can return to that website and it automatically will enter the login information and password for me. I want to know whether you can have password manager (or another program) prompt the user for the fingerprint and then submit the login information. That way the information is protected each time I log in, but I do not need to enter log in information each time, only a fingerprint. 
    1b) If this is possible in IE8, I would like to know if it is possible in Firefox 3, in which password manager does not pop up.
    2) Can it be used to log into MS Outlook.
    3) Can it be used to lock documents in MS Word.
    I much appreciate any information letting me know if these can be done, and if so, how to do them. Thank you very much for your help!

    After playing with it for a while I figured out at least questions 1a) and 1b). For anyone else who has the same questions:
    1a) Have your browser save the password using Lenovo's Password Manager. Then open password manager and open that item.  Click the advanced tab and change the security level to custom. Click "Customize Security Policy" and select "Protect with a Fingerprint."
    1b) Lenovo has a patch to synch Password Manager with firefox 3. It can be found here and is much easier than the manual fixes found on this forum.

    I am still looking for help with 3) and 4), particurally 3). Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thank you very much!!

  • Can't use only the external monitor, leaving macbook open on Lion

    HW
    macbook pro 15-inch, Early 2011
    external samsung monitor, attached using HDMI to Thunderbolth adaptor
    Previous Situation
    With Snow Leopard I was able to keep the macbook screen open but turned off and use only the external monitor. This way I was able to use the front camera to make conference having everything only in the external monitor.
    Current Situation
    With Lion as soon as I open the macbook monitor the image splits between the two monitors and I'm not able to set the extenal one as only one.

    Support today quoted Apple's engineers as saying it is "expected behaviour" under Lion for the MBP's internal display to reactivate upon opening the lid, even if you want to use only your external display. A new version of the clamshell mode-related knowledgebase article (replacing HT3131) is due shortly confirming this.
    This is despite:
    - the obvious temperature-related benefits that were achievable (under Snow Leopard) by opening your MBP lid whilst continuing to output solely to, say, a 27" cinema display
    - potential wifi connectivity benefits of having the lid open
    - the waste of energy and inefficient use of graphics processing power in needlessly running two active screens (ie if running your MBP in clamshell mode would otherwise make it too hot and/or noisy or you need it open for wifi)
    - the negative longer-term impact on the battery and other components from running the MBP any hotter than it needs to be.
    To have any hope of getting the previous behaviour back, we need to lobby Apple to change how Lion handles clamshell mode. Options available to them include changing Lion's expected behaviour or adding a user-selectable option within System Preferences.
    If you haven't already submitted feedback, please do so below. Now the situation has been clarified as intentional, user feedback has become all the more important.

  • How can I use only the most recent data in an average?

    I have a class which has regular listening quizzes.  If a student's average from the last three tests falls below 10 points (out of 20), then that student has to come in for extra practice.
    My Sheets are set up with the students' names running down column A.  Test 1 is column B.  A a check box for whether students handed in the pre-listening homework is in column C.  The test and homework column pattern is continued for tests 1 through 20. 
    I then have an average for all the tests for that student further over to the right.
    Next to the overall average, I would like to make a column with an average showing only the latest three test scores.  So, for example, the students have just finished test 10, the average of test 10, 9 and 8 would appear, but everything prior to that would be ignored.
    I appreciate any suggestions on a formula for how I could make that happen.
    Thank you!

    CB,
    Here's one approach. Note that I used Header Columns to make the programming easier. If you choose not to use Header Columns, you can adjust the formulas to account for the difference.
    The formula in Overall Average is: =IFERROR(AVERAGE(2:2), 0) for Alice. Fill Down.
    The formula in Last Three Scores average is: =IF(COUNT(2:2)<3, B, AVERAGE(OFFSET(D2, 0, (COUNT(2:2)-3)*2, 1, 6))) for Alice. Fill Down.
    Regards,

  • How can I get only the music I want onto my iPhone using iTunes Match

    how can I get only the music I want onto my iPhone using iTunes Match?  At present it is putting a random selection on; it has none of the same control as iTunes on my Mac.  And although I uploaded all my album artwork to iCloud, it is not transferring it back to my iPhone

    You can copy those songs to a cd and then put a copy to your itunes media library.

  • 23" Cinema Display: Can't disable MacBook display to use only the cinema?

    Hi,
    I just bought a 23" cinema display with the intention of using it exclusively while I use a wireless keyboard and just keep my MacBook closed. I notice that when I set the display preferences to "mirror," the quality of the cinema display reduces greatly, since it's only able to be set at the maximum display resolution allowed for the MacBook when mirroring. This seems to defeat the purpose of having the cinema display. So, I guess I have several questions:
    1. Can I close the MacBook without it going to sleep?
    2. Can I make the cinema display the primary display (with application menus, etc.)?
    3. Can I disable the MaBook display and use only the cinema display?
    Thanks,
    Stew

    1. Can I close the MacBook without it going to sleep?
    No, but if the power adapter is connected, you can wake it with the external keyboard or mouse (make sure wake-up is enabled in the Bluetooth system preference), and it will continue to run with the lid closed.
    2. Can I make the cinema display the primary display (with application menus, etc.)?
    Yes. In the "Arrangement" pane of "Displays" system preference, turn off mirroring and drag the picture of the menu bar to the picture f the external display.
    3. Can I disable the MaBook display and use only the cinema display?
    Yes. Close the lid.

  • I would like to set up an older iPad with a new messages account so it can be used by my kids.  I don't, however, want to lose the apps or music that are on the iPad. Can I change only the Messages "account"?

    I would like to set up an older iPad with a new messages account so it can be used by my kids.  I don't, however, want to lose the apps or music that are on the iPad. Can I change only the Messages "account"?

    Thanks. I had tried that, but was still having problems. Then I realized that I was using three addresses on both devices.  Once I changed it to only one email on one iPad and a different email on the other, it worked great. Your message encouraged me to dig deeper and think differently. It worked. Thanks again!

  • My elderly mother hss EXTREMELY limited vision and is a technophobe. I am considering an iPhone with Siri.  Can I turn off everything else so she can use only the phone app and voice dialing and not accidentally open any other app and screw something

    My elderly mother has EXTREMELY limited vision and is a technophobe. I am considering an iPhone with Siri.  Can I turn off everything else so she can use only the phone app and voice dialing or Siri and not accidentally open any other app and screw something up.

    I'm asking, in all seriousness, why do you think your mother needs an iPhone? Honestly, if your mother is, as you described her, a technophobe, I would recommend against getting an iPhone or any other smartphone. I've spent a fair bit of time teaching older folks to use smartphones. If they are interested in learning, it's fine. If they have the phone because their kids or grandkids thought it was a good idea but they are afraid of the phone or not interested in its features, it doesn't go well at all.
    Many basic phones have voice dialing. Obviously, it doesn't do all the things Siri does but it may be much less intimidating for your mom. Also, basic phones have hardware keys. Even someone with limited vision can learn the keyboard on such a phone. From the sound of your first post, all she will be doing is making phone calls.
    Best of luck.

  • Why I don't use the fingerprint reader in my 5S

    I loved the fingerprint reader when I first used it, until I noticed one thing: When you enable the fingerprint passcode unlock, you lose the ability to set a duration of the "Require Passcode" option to anything other than "Immediately". If I'm txting or driving with my navigation app, I constantly need to be able to get in and out of the phone, and it's very inconvenience to have to swipe the notification on the lock screen and then have to use my fingerprint to get in. I want to still be able to only have it require a passcode after x minutes, even if I use the fingerprint option. For that reason I have turned off the fingerprint feature. Is there a workaround? Does anyone else find this anoying?

    Not sure what you are asking. Does your account not work on your phone, are you getting an error message ?

  • I am planning to buy ipad 2 wifi   3g verizon carrier, will be taking it to india need to know if the same can be used with the local providers there or would the ipad be locked and restricted only to verizon

    I am planning to buy ipad 2 wifi   3g verizon carrier, will be taking it to india need to know if the same can be used with the local providers there or would the ipad be locked and restricted only to verizon

    I'm fairly sure the Verizon CDMA iPad 2 had no GSM sim slot. So it won't work with any other carrier except Verizon.
    As far as the AT&T version goes, it should technically work but will not support 4G/LTE cellular bands.
    Given iPad 2's are no longer being sold, I doubt any  that could be bought would have a warranty still. Or have at most very little of it left.
    Why an iPad 2?  its now 3 generations behind the current one.
    Perhaps an iPad 4 would be a better choice.

  • Since I updated to Firefox 4.0 I no longer can use the fingerprint scanner to log into websites. I get a message saying the protocol dpql isn't associated with any program. It was working fine upgraded. What do I do now?

    The scanner works fine with Explorer and worked fine with Firefox before the upgrade. I find it disconcerting that you upgrade something that then changes how I have to use my computer in ways that have nothing to do with Firefox. At least we should have been warned prior to the upgrade that this was going to happen.

    Id this the HP SimplePass Identity manager or Digital Persona fingerprint reader? If it is, the company that make the fingerprint reader have abandoned it. For more details see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/799388

  • How can I find the location of the signature used in the Adobe Reader signature feature?

    How can I find the location of the signature used in the Adobe Reader signature feature? I've been using the signature feature for a while now and it works great and I'd like to use it on another computer. However, I forgot where I stored the signature. Adobe finds it with no problems (the signature pops up when I click "Place Signature"), but I have no idea where it is.

    It's here - C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\Security\

  • How can I select properties from dropdown lists using only the keyboard?

    Hi,
    I am using SAP Netweaver Studio and when modifying UI elements in views, I want to select the value for a property from the corresponding dropdown list in the Properties view using only the keyboard.
    When a property row is selected, "Enter" toggles to Edit mode, Alt+ArrowDown expands the list, but ArrowUp or ArrowDown directly selects the previous/next item list and changes to Selected mode.  Which key is used to navigate between the list items without selecting them immediately?
    Thanks a lot. I deal with lots of views and this would save me quite a few massage hours
