Logging in to LINE for PC:
There are three ways to log in to LINE for PC: by using a QR code, biometric information, or your registered email address and password.

Logging in with biometric information (e.g. face, fingerprint) You can log in with the biometric information (e.g. face, fingerprint) registered to your main device when you use LINE for PC.
