All cheap smartphones have a fingerprint sensor but all laptops dont have one. Is it because of security concerns or spacing reasons?

Most work laptops I’ve seen use smart cards for this. The computer is locked unless your card is inserted and a PIN is entered, and removing the card locks the computer.
What country and industry do you work in? I’ve never even heard of that much less seen it in a professional capacity.
A lot of modern places use shibboleth and 2FA keys these days, but the military still uses smart card authentication
Where I work we use passwords but I’m in the trial for Windows hello for business.
I do know though that smart cards are very common in the healthcare industry. I know that the police also use it.
We use Windows Hello PINs. Great when you have a 10-key (numpad) built into the laptop. Too bad it takes forever to wake. God I wish I had any MacBook.
Like wake from sleep? My work laptop wakes very quickly from sleep. I just touch my finger on the fingerprint reader and it wakes unlocked in just a few seconds. It’s a Dell latitude 5430
that’s really weird. I worked in healthcare and literally never saw that once… that was a decade ago now, but still.
I’m in the US working for a company that uses smart card plus PIN for login, then everything else is automatic SSO using those credentials.
Honestly works amazingly.
