All cheap smartphones have a fingerprint sensor but all laptops dont have one. Is it because of security concerns or spacing reasons?

True for personal laptops, false for professional laptops. Might be why they gave me one with a fingerprint reader.
I unlock my work laptop a dozen times a day at least. Facial recognition FTW for that. TBH I’ve never felt the need to set up my fingerprint though…
Most work laptops I’ve seen use smart cards for this. The computer is locked unless your card is inserted and a PIN is entered, and removing the card locks the computer.
What country and industry do you work in? I’ve never even heard of that much less seen it in a professional capacity.
Where I work we use passwords but I’m in the trial for Windows hello for business.
I do know though that smart cards are very common in the healthcare industry. I know that the police also use it.
that’s really weird. I worked in healthcare and literally never saw that once… that was a decade ago now, but still.
A lot of modern places use shibboleth and 2FA keys these days, but the military still uses smart card authentication
