    Use the fingerprint reader for websites and apps that require passwords?

    I have a friend who has an HP laptop and he can use his fingerprint reader for anything that needs authentication, is there a way to set that up for the fingerprint readers on the thinkpads?

    EDIT: After some more searching I have downloaded and am installing the lenovo password manager, supposedly this is what you need to enable the feature.

    Yeah, I'm about to uninstall it, I don't like it that much. It's not nearly as slick as the way HP has it implemented.
