ABSTRACT:
According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes an input module to input a password, a biological authentication device including a storage unit for storing biological information and identification information, and an authentication control module which sets and holds identification information to be stored in the storage unit of the biological authentication device, and permits a password input using the input module to be substituted by authentication using the biological authentication device when the identification information held by itself and the identification information stored in the storage unit of the biological authentication device match. The authentication control module includes a setting module to perform a setting for the identification information stored in the storage unit of the biological identification device and held by itself, on both conditions of authentication establishment with a registered password entry using the input module and authentication establishment using the biological authentication device.
