Windows 8.1 (code named: Windows Blue) is reported to allow users to use their fingerprint for security purpose. Cool, ain't it? According to recent news, the update to Windows 8 will natively support fingerprint recognition. The users will be able to associate their unique finger print with their Microsoft account thus letting users sign into accounts and lock down folders with a single swipe.

It sounds like fingerprint reading will be possible both with external hardware peripherals and as a feature built-in to some Windows 8.1 devices.

In fact, Microsoft's Senior Product Marketing Manager Michael Niehaus said during the company's Tech-Ed talks this week that the company is working with hardware manufacturers to have it included.

Windows 8.1 is scheduled to be released on June 26, 2013 with more of cool new features. Desperately waiting for that day! :)
