### Configure use of smart cards on fixed data drives
This policy setting allows you to specify whether smart cards can be used to authenticate user access to the BitLocker-protected fixed data drives.
- If you enable this policy setting, smart cards can be used to authenticate user access to the drive
- You can require a smart card authentication by selecting the **Require use of smart cards on fixed data drives** option
- If you disable this policy setting, users can't use smart cards to authenticate their access to BitLocker-protected fixed data drives
- If you don't configure this policy setting, smart cards can be used to authenticate user access to a BitLocker-protected drive
