Why do gadgets (laptops / smartphones) require typing in the password after a restart although I have my fingerprint configured?

235 views

Although I have my fingerprint configured on my smartphone and laptop, every time I restart them I get asked to enter my password. They won’t let me in with the fingerprint. It feels like they’re aiming for another security layer, but how is a password more secure than a fingerprint? What are they thinking? Someone stole my fingertip?

A decent password is far more secure than your fingertip.

The police, for example, can just press your finger on your phone to make you unlock it. They can’t make you tell them your password.

Now apply that logic to other “bad guys”.
