  <title>Log in with a fingerprint</title>

  <p>If your system has a supported fingerprint scanner, you can record your
  fingerprint and use it to log in.</p>

<section id="record">
  <title>Record a fingerprint</title>

  <p>Before you can log in with your fingerprint, you need to record it so that
  the system can use it to identify you.</p>

  <note style="tip">
    <p>If your finger is too dry, you may have difficulty registering your
    fingerprint. If this happens, moisten your finger slightly, dry it with a
    clean, lint-free cloth, and retry.</p>
  </note>

  <p>You need <link xref="user-admin-explain">administrator privileges</link>
  to edit user accounts other than your own.</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview and
      start typing <gui>System</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Select <guiseq><gui>Settings</gui><gui>System</gui></guiseq> from the
      results. This will open the <gui>System</gui> panel.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Select <gui>Users</gui> to open the panel.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Press on <gui>Disabled</gui>, next to <gui>Fingerprint Login</gui> to
      add a fingerprint for the selected account. If you are adding the
      fingerprint for a different user, you will first need to
      <gui>Unlock</gui> the panel.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Select the finger that you want to use for the fingerprint, then
      <gui style="button">Next</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Follow the instructions in the dialog and swipe your finger at a
      <em>moderate speed</em> over your fingerprint reader. Once the computer
      has a good record of your fingerprint, you will see a <gui>Done!</gui>
      message.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Select <gui>Next</gui>. You will see a confirmation message that
      your fingerprint was saved successfully. Select <gui>Close</gui> to
      finish.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>

<section id="verify">
  <title>Check that your fingerprint works</title>

  <p>Now check that your new fingerprint login works. If you register a
  fingerprint, you still have the option to log in with your password.</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>Save any open work, and then <link xref="shell-exit#logout">log
      out</link>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>At the login screen, select your name from the list. The password
      entry form will appear.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Instead of typing your password, you should be able to swipe your
      finger on the fingerprint reader.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>
