Synaptics Inc. announced collaboration with Microsoft on biometric fingerprint authentication and touchpad technologies on Windows 10. Microsoft leveraged Synaptics’ deep expertise in human interface, which is fundamental to the operating system.
 
Through stringent testing, Synaptics’ advanced image sensing technology and drivers are fully certified with Microsoft’s Precision Touchpad (PTP) specification empowering OEMs with Windows 10-ready Synaptics products. Windows 10 users will benefit from Synaptics’ precision TouchPad technology, and SecurePad, the industry’s only solution to integrate secure biometric fingerprint ID technology directly into the TouchPad.
 
Synaptics enables OEMs to develop Windows 10-ready fingerprint authentication that supports Fast ID Online (FIDO) for devices including smartphones, tablets, personal computers, computer mice, keyboards and docking stations. Fingerprint authentication through Windows Hello and subsequent access to apps and online services through Microsoft Passport is far more convenient than typing a password and infinitely more secure.
 
“As we’ve developed Windows Hello, we’ve been pleased with the outstanding collaboration provided by the Synaptics team,” said Nelly Porter, lead principal program manager, Operating System Groups – Security, Microsoft. “Thanks to these efforts, Synaptics is helping our mutual customers move away from passwords to strong authentication using enterprise-grade biometric sensors.”
