All cheap smartphones have a fingerprint sensor but all laptops dont have one. Is it because of security concerns or spacing reasons?

    Most work laptops I’ve seen use smart cards for this. The computer is locked unless your card is inserted and a PIN is entered, and removing the card locks the computer.

      What country and industry do you work in? I’ve never even heard of that much less seen it in a professional capacity.

        I’m in the US working for a company that uses smart card plus PIN for login, then everything else is automatic SSO using those credentials.

        Honestly works amazingly.

        A lot of modern places use shibboleth and 2FA keys these days, but the military still uses smart card authentication
