6/1/2023 0 Comments Windows hello fingerprint![]() ![]() ![]() You need to set up Windows Hello separately on each PC or device you have that supports it, as for security reasons the biometric data is only stored on that local device. This information is never transmitted over the Internet, or stored in your Microsoft Account, and is never shared with Microsoft or any third-party. Important note about privacy: As with all modern biometric features including those from Apple and Google, Windows Hello only ever stores your biometric data on a secure chip on your computer’s motherboard. It will either ask you to sit in front of your webcam so that it can scan your face, or it will ask you to repeatedly touch the fingerprint reader with one or more fingers, so that it can get a good scan. If any biometric sign-in options are available to you these will be listed and in the example below you can see that fingerprint recognition is showing as “unavailable” on this PC.Ĭlicking the option you want to use will display an easy to follow wizard. You can access Windows Hello by opening Settings and then navigating to Accounts and Sign-in options. This Windows Hello feature includes being able to use facial recognition, so you only have to sit in front of your PC, or by touching a fingerprint reader which are sometimes even built into the power button on laptops. While you will always be able to sign into your Windows PC with a password, or a PIN code, the operating system also supports a range of advanced biometric security sign-ins if the hardware on your PC or laptop support them. ![]()
