Setting up the fingerprint scanner on the HTC 10

Prior to this year, fingerprint scanners weren’t all that easy to find on mobile devices; however, the top hardware manufacturers in the world of Android all decided to implemented the technology with their latest flagships. The Samsung Galaxy S7, LG G5, and HTC 10 all ship with fingerprint scanners. Perhaps the very best one is on HTC’s 2016 flagship as its subtly integrated below the display as a home button.

We’re showing you how to set up the fingerprint scanner on the HTC 10.

Go to the settings menu of your phone and scroll down to the Personal section. That’s where you’ll find Fingerprint scanner. It’s also possible to start the setup process by going to Security in the same section of the Settings Menu.
The top selection, Wake up screen, makes it so that the fingerprint scanner can be tapped to wake your phone and prepare it for use. Assuming you haven’t added any fingerprints before, you’ll need to choose Add fingerprint to start.
The first step is to choose a backup screen lock method — pattern, PIN, or password. This helps if the fingerprint scanner ever malfunctions or, even worse, you lose a finger.
HTC will then walk you through the registration.
Just keep placing the same finger on the fingerprint scanner at different angles. It’ll help your phone recognize you better.

So that’s all you have to do in order to get the fingerprint scanner going on the HTC 10. Since the phone’s fingerprint scanner operates on Google’s Marshmallow guidelines, a grand pool of supporting apps is waiting for you.
