Hey kit!
Welcome to PC Helpforum!

I have no experience with the fingerprint reader, but I thought it only makes it easier for you, so that you don't need to type passwords everytime.

Anyway, perhaps this helps you out a little:

By the way, I'm pretty sure you won't be able to use it for your BIOS.
