How to do I set up fingerprint recognition for Windows Hello for Business on my university owned device?

Windows Hello is a secure sign-in method built into Windows that lets you access your device using a PIN, fingerprint, or facial recognition. A PIN is the most common option and is required before you can enable biometrics. You can find the article HERE for setting up a Windows PIN. 

What you need before you start:

• University owned, domain-joined device.
• You are signed in with a Microsoft account or work/school account.
• Your device is running Windows 10 or Windows 11.

4. Enter your PIN and select OK.
5. Follow the prompts on the window and touch the fingerprint sensor until it has fully scanned your fingerprint.
6. When finished, you can choose to Add another finger or Close the window.
