I recently red an article on the security problems of fingerprint readers, where it was pointed out that allowing any of two (or more) fingerprints to unlock a laptop made it easier for a criminal to match one of them.  As a result, I tried to delete one of the two fingerprints I had enrolled on my laptop.  However the system would not allow me to do this, saying that I had to enroll a minimum of two fingerprints.  Why does HP force one to reduce the security of the laptop by requiring this?  Is there some way of getting around it?
