I am seeing people with #laptops asking about using fingerprint unlocking. I really don't recommend doing this anymore if you live in the United States like I do. In fact, I don't recommend using #biometrics at all for any #mobile devices.
The courts have generally ruled that you can be compelled to unlock your device via biometrics for law enforcement to search without a warrant for search incident to arrest. Courts have reasoned that you have less expectation of privacy with your biometrics. However, with a password, courts have reasoned you have a heightened expectation of privacy and generally cannot be compelled to give up your password as you have protections from the 5th amendment self-incrimination clause.
In summary, it's best to disable biometric unlocking on laptops and mobile devices. You also really want to implement full disk encryption on your laptop and encryption on your smart phones.
