Latitude E7440 pre-desktop authentication
Hello,
I am about to buy Latitude E7440 notebook, but first I need to know if pre-desktop authentication is supported.
To explain, here is the text from Thinkpad users manual:
Using the fingerprint reader
Depending on the model, your computer might have a fingerprint reader. Fingerprint authentication can replace your passwords, such as the Windows password, power-on password, and hard disk password. In this way, you can log on to your computer simply and securely
I specifically need a fingerprint to unlock self encrypting SSD drive, that is to replace power-on password and hard disk password. Then it should seamlessly log into windows. My 6 year old Thinkpad is capable of this, but I can't find any such information on Latitude E7440.
Please help, as I really want to like this notebook :)

Hi,
Couldn't find that option in dell DDP software - I was also used to that in my Dell E6400, but seems that E7440 software is missing that option.
However I have read a bit and seems that it should be an option to install embassy suite where this should be possible.
Same issue is discussed here: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518/t/19567066.aspx
