[p style="text-align: left;"]a Tasker plugin called AutoTools, and an app called Unified Remote, to remotely unlock your Windows PC using the fingerprint scanner on your Android device. The script used AutoTools to authenticate your fingerprint and Unified Remote to perform remote inputs such as a tap, swipe, and paste to unlock your Windows PC. While it certainly works, it’s definitely not an ideal way to remotely unlock your PC. If Samsung Flow can be used to remotely unlock your Windows PC from a Samsung phone, why can’t any other third-party app? That’s exactly the question that XDA Member Andrew-X asked himself, and after months of work, he came up with a solution. He created an app called Remote Fingerprint Unlock which lets you unlock any Windows PC via the fingerprint scanner on your Android smartphone.[div][span style="font-style: italic; text-decoration-line: underline;"][br][/span][/div][h2 style="text-align: center;"]
