On Wednesday 28 Dec , Lenovo said that it would sell its one million’th ThinkPad notebook with an integrated fingerprint reader next month, making it the largest provider of biometric-enabled PCs in the world. Lenovo estimates that password resets account for 35-50 per cent of all helpdesk calls. By automating and securing the password reset process through Lenovo’s password manager software and integrated fingerprint reader, users can avoid timely and costly support calls.

We place a huge priority on security and deployed ThinkPad notebooks with fingerprint readers because they were the only notebooks to offer an integrated hardware and software security solution, said Mike Sink, director of infrastructure, Kichler Lighting. Lenovo’s ThinkPad notebook with integrated fingerprint reader has been an immensely popular tool with our employees while providing a higher level of security and convenience.
