The HANIS method is for the citizens of South Africa. The HANIS method enables you to authenticate using your fingerprint that is registered in the National Identification System. The fingerprint scanner captures the fingerprint. When you try to authenticate on any device, the fingerprint available in the Nation Identification System is compared with the captured fingerprint. If fingerprints are identical, you are authenticated successfully.
NOTE:To use the Fingerprint method for authentication, you must install the Advanced Authentication Device Service. For more information, see Installing Device Service on Windows in the Advanced Authentication - Device Service.
To authenticate using the HANIS method, perform the following steps:
Ensure that a fingerprint reader is connected to the computer.
Place your finger on the reader when using a touch sensor or swipe your finger when using a swipe sensor.
If fingerprint matches with the fingerprint available in the National Identification System, the authentication is successful.
