Found via XDA:
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.

Is it safe to use?
I understand that some of you may be wary of installing a Windows application such as this. While I can’t guarantee that the app is safe to use since it isn’t open source, I do believe that the developer is trustworthy after having run it through various malware analysis tools and asking the developer to address what issues the tools picked up on. I’ll quote our conversation below so you can decide for yourself.
