Hi everyone, in front of me I've got Poco M5s and let me share with you how to
0:06
add the fingerprint to this device. So first of all we have to enter the
0:14
settings and now let's scroll down to find passwords and security. And as you
0:21
can see at the top we've got a section which is connected to any kind of
0:25
which is available in this device. And here on the right we've got the
0:30
fingerprint unlock. A quick disclaimer if you do have a screen lock, so the
0:35
pattern pin or password currently set, after tapping on the fingerprint you
0:40
will be transferred to the steps which are tightly connected with the
0:44
fingerprint. However if you don't have the screen lock, just like me, then after
0:50
tapping on the fingerprint unlock we will be transferred automatically to the
0:55
screen lock. It is because that we really have to have like two different
1:01
kinds of the screen lock. It can be the battery pin or password, whatever
1:08
We will have to have it because if for some reason the fingerprint sensor won't
1:13
work, then we will still be able to unlock the device just by using for
1:18
example pattern. Of course you can tap on the screen lock, add it and then go
1:23
to the fingerprint, but you can just tap on it and as you can see you will be
1:27
immediately transferred there. So let me pick the pattern. Here we've got the
1:32
information that we have to remember the password. It is because that if we will
1:36
forget it, then we will have to go through the hard reset operation which
1:40
will wipe out all of the data. So let's tap on got it, let's set the pattern
1:46
redraw it and confirm. And now we've got the actual first step of
1:54
adding the fingerprint. Here we've got the instructions. So we have to put our
1:58
finger on the sensor which is located on the power button on the side and now let
2:03
me do it. So let me put my finger here and as you can see right now I have to
2:09
do it multiple times in order to add the fingerprint fully and try to get every
2:15
corner for better recognition. So really change the position of your finger. Okay and now we have to move our finger slightly so it simply means that
2:28
we have to add more places of it. All right and we just successfully added the fingerprint. I don't want to add the
2:41
face unlock and here we can rename it. So let me do it here because why not. That
2:46
was my index finger. You can of course rename it later on and tap on done. And
2:53
as you can see we will be transferred to the fingerprint settings. We've got our
2:58
finger here. We can tap on it here. We can remove it also if you want to. You can
3:03
add another fingerprint and here you can decide what kind of recognition method
3:08
your device will use. So let's tap on it and as you can see we've got two
3:12
different options. So the touch and the press. Personally I prefer the
3:18
touch option because in order to unlock the device you have to just put your
3:22
finger on the sensor just like during adding it. So just tap on it and it will
3:27
be fine. If you will pick this option to press then you will have to press the
3:33
button. So not only touch with the finger with the fingerprint you've got added
3:37
but also press it. So it's for me at least less comfortable than the touch
3:44
option. So I will stick with this one and here you can decide for what you want to
3:49
use the fingerprint for. So for the lock screen which is defaultly applied of
3:53
course you can turn it off. The privacy password, upload or fingerprint payments
3:58
so you can authorize the purchases. Okay enough of talking let's check if it is
4:04
working. So let me lock the device and let me put my finger on the sensor. And
4:09
as you can see the device is immediately unblocked which simply means that we
4:13
just successfully added the fingerprint to it. So that's all. This is how to add
4:18
the fingerprint in your Poco M5s. Thank you so much for watching. I hope that
