I have a kwikset zigbee lock with keypad that works perfect, but i have 2 other doors. On our main door i would love to have one with a fingerprint technology in it, but so far my searches have came up short. Any suggestions? I want it to be able to be used with hubitat to do the nightly lock routines when I do my shutdown scene.
I'm in quite a tricky situation as I updated my laptop to Windows 10 yesterday and when I tried to log in again this morning using my fingerprint, it did not recognise it and after 3 attempts it locked me out!
I have never used a password to log into my PC and ever since I bought it 5 months ago I only used the fingerprint option to log in. However now it keeps asking me for a password but I never created one to start with. Since I never had a password, I never had a password recovery USB either.
The little guy is growing up and soon needs to be able to unlock the door on his own. Keys or tags he will definately lose the first day and the current app based lock is a no starter without a smart phone. PIN is also questionable if he will remember.
There are locks with fingerprint scanners out there, that would work for him. But how does it work in practice? My laptop fails to recognize my fingerprint more often than it succeeds and of course there has been many security scares about finger print scanners being fooled easily.
I had a Kaadas push-pull door lock with fingerprint sensor for several years and this came with a Z-Wave module. I recently removed it due to poor performance and complaints from the family. I wrote a more detailed post mortem if you are interested.
Even though 90% of burglars today do not go through the front door, it is still 10% that does and if they find an easy way through the front door with just a computer or mobile phone, then that is the one they will take.
It might require a bit of an electronic geek to come up with the gear for it, but here in Europe many there are borders to many poorer countries from the old east block with highly skilled and educated people that can earn much more by developing such gear to be used to burgle Europe than what can be earned in the few jobs available otherwise.
These highly skilled people have already made front for ATM to scan creditcards, scanners that can credit cards when passing by them and so on.
I was looking at one of those "Great Gifts for Travelers" lists the other day. One item that caught my eye was a small combination luggage lock that unlocks with a fingerprint. I like to put a lock on my suitcase when I'm out of the hotel room during the day, but over the last few years I've had an increasingly hard time seeing the little numbers on the lock's dial when I want to unlock it. Being able to just press my thumb to it would be ideal.
I trust you are aware that if you have standard zippered soft sided luggage it can be easily 'opened' while "locked" and then just as easily reclosed looking as if it was never opened? The lock will give you the illusion of safety without any safety.
....opened' while "locked" and then just as easily reclosed looking as if it was never opened ....... That is just marginally true. BUT --that only works if the zipper slider is free to move to re-close the un-zippered area. Simply immobilize the slider and the opened area cannot be re-closed.
I would not use anything that is subject to a technology failure. It has to have some type of battery or electrical source to run the senor to read the fingerprint. Solve the problem of reading small numbers first.

I have been using the lock screen pattern for a little over a year now and I always remembered it so it was no biggie. Today, literally out of nowhere, my phone asks me to enter a password. I have no idea why it asked me this, so I tried entering a variety of passwords. All it does is lock the phone for 30 seconds before I can try entering another password once I've had too many tries.
I have no idea what password it wants from me, I only have so many and I tried all of them. It says: "Use password after restart (before I restarted it said Use password to unlock screen), Your password contains at least 4 characters, including at least 1 letter." What password?! See, that's why I hate installing updates, this is just bull*****. I also tried to unlock my phone using Find My Phone and it does not work as it is not connected to the network (I tried restarting it before and I guess that screwed me now). I honestly don't even know if a factory reset would work at this stage, since it does not show any notifications either (apart from: Phone restarted, Unlock your phone to get app notifications).
Today all of a sudden my phone locks me out and is asking for a password. I had no idea what password it wanted, then I read something about a password set up in settings and I remembered I set up a password in settings for my outlook email, I tried that password and my phone immediately unlocked and functioned normally again.
Kevin B - thank you for the above. I set up Outlook email on my new S22 ultra this week so will bear it in mind when mine next locks up. I've had this problem since I used a train charge socket last November (irrelevant but it never happened to me prior to then). I had a galaxy S10 then. Now got a new S22 ultra and sim but it still continually locks me out, won't recognise any password, and a relative has to re-set the password for me remotely. Ridiculous situation. Are Samsung looking at this?

It's time to set up fingerprint security and register your prints. The steps will be almost exactly the same, no matter what device you have. The only difference will be where the fingerprint sensor is located.
Enter your lock screen credentials. If you do not have a screen lock set up, you may be prompted to create one at this point. When you're ready, read the information, and then tap Continue.
Use the on-screen prompts to register your fingerprint. When registering your fingerprint, make sure to fully cover the fingerprint sensor with your finger to prevent strong light from entering the fingerprint sensor. When you're finished, tap Done.
To unlock your device using your finger, tap the screen or press the Power key or Side key. Then, place the registered finger on the fingerprint scanner, wherever it's located. The device will automatically unlock if it recognizes your fingerprint.
Note: Some devices may come with a pre-installed plastic screen protector designed to work with the in-screen sensor. Installing another screen protector may affect fingerprint recognition.
It may be more natural to use a different fingerprint to unlock your device if you're holding it in another hand, or in another orientation. Thankfully, you can add multiple fingerprints so you can unlock your device however you hold it.
If you are still having trouble unlocking your device because the fingerprint sensor isn't recognizing your prints, try entering your regular PIN, password, or pattern. Please read our guide on Unable to unlock Samsung phone or tablet's screen to learn more.
Both fingerprint access control and mobile app access control have advantages and disadvantages, but for most multi-family communities, the advantages of mobile app access control systems overcome those of fingerprint (or any other biometric) systems. Unless your community requires extra (extra) security, so that it overcomes the convenience and cost considerations, you should probably check mobile app access control options first.
