Description
Remotely and securely unlock your Windows PC using your Android’s fingerprint sensor.
For the application to work, you need to download and install the Fingerprint Credential Provider module on your Windows PC (Windows Vista/7/8/10/11) from here: https://bit.ly/rfu-installer
If you've lost your PRO upgrade after reinstall, need help with setting up accounts or Wake on LAN, or for any other issue that you may encounter, please be sure to check out the F.A.Q. : https://bit.ly/3cuJUgG
The module only runs when the logon screen is active, so, in order to connect your computer, add an account, etc., simply lock your computer (Windows Key + L, or from the Start Menu).
How to use the app: Firstly, be sure that you have installed the Windows module found at the link above. Go to the Scan menu (making sure that your computer is on the logon screen) and pull to refresh (uses Wi-Fi) or press the add button and use the preferred method of unlocking. Select your computer and press Save. Now, go to the Accounts menu, tap the 3-dot menu button of the computer and then Add Account. Enter the Windows account that you want to unlock. Use the displayed name exactly as on the lockscreen (case sensitive, including the domain name if using domain account), together with the corresponding password. Scan your fingerprint and press Add. For PRO users: to select one of the added accounts as default, tap on the 3-dot menu button then select Set As Default. To configure a computer, tap on the 3-dot menu button of that computer. For PRO users: to enable Wake on Lan, go to the computer's configuration menu and enable Send WoL Packet. Make sure the MAC address is correct! You’re now all set! Go to the Unlock menu and scan your fingerprint. You should now see your computer unlocked.
Features: • Log-into/Unlock an account • Simple, user-friendly UI • Secure • Local/Microsoft/Domain* accounts support • Light/Dark/Black (AMOLED-friendly) UI themes • Local network/Bluetooth/Wi-Fi Tethering/USB Tethering support
* 1.2.0 version of the Windows module required. Usage: when adding an account using the Android app, simply add the full name of the account, including the domain, separated by a slash ( ‘\’ ). For example: test\account.name
PRO features: • Ads removal • Unlimited computers and accounts per computer • Wake-On-LAN • Unlock widgets • Launcher shortcuts
Being built with security in mind, the app: • Does not use an intermediate server – all communication is done directly with the Windows module. • Encrypts the stored information in the user’s computer using a unique key that identifies the app installation. • Does not store any password in the Android app. • Can be used on a public network – all sent data is encrypted. • Prevents attackers from also gaining access to your computer – if an attacker knows your PIN and adds his own fingerprint, the app is immediately notified and automatically invalidates its own key, which makes the stored private app information lost forever.
Be sure to allow incoming and outgoing traffic (both TCP and UDP, on port 4009) in your firewall for the LogonUI.exe process found at C:\Windows\System32. You will be asked at the installation if you want this done automatically for you if you are using Windows Firewall.
Please check the F.A.Q. for more troubleshooting tips and questions or send me an email if you have any questions regarding the app.
Recent changes: 1.6.7: Fix biometric setup for certain devices from Motorola, OnePlus, Oppo (possibly others too). The fix will be enabled after an initial setup failure is detected so don't worry about the first error. If you still encounter issues, let me know in an email!

The setup is little difficult unless you read the instructions to the dot. But as a developers review. I Was looking for the windows' hello fingerprint feature to work. So it would be nice to be able to verify other things that window hello works with. Nonetheless, I will set up with task for automating and wake on lan. The widget is also nice. Thanks 👍🆒👌🔥💯💢 😊 😎 awesome. Can't wait for the Linux support!
