Using Windows Hello and a fingerprint to log into Windows 1. Microsoft intends for Windows 1. Windows ever released. Back in March of this year they announced two features for the upcoming operating system that would add physical security to your Windows 1. Windows Hello and Microsoft Passport will provide options to use facial recognition, iris scanning and fingerprints to validate your identity and subsequently grant access to the OS and your documents. Windows Hello’s facial recognition and iris scanning is still a few months away because of the hardware it will require but you can already put the fingerprint scanning to use in Windows 1. All it takes is a compatible fingerprint scanner and Windows 1. The bottom of the device has a non- skid surface so it stays in place as you swipe your finger. This device works out of the box with Windows 1. Once the scanner was plugged in I headed into Settings> Accounts> Sign- in options on build 1. Windows Hello and options to setup either a Face or Fingerprint. Clicking on the Fingerprint setup option started the process and asked me to log in with my PIN/Password. Once that was done the remainder of the setup involved swiping my finger multiple times so the system could get a good image of my fingerprint. Once completed I closed out all the dialogs, logged out of Windows 1. Sign- in option that included using my fingerprint. Successfully scanning my finger would log me in and take me into the system. I even tried scanning the wrong finger and the system quickly rejected that. Unfortunately, when logging out of Windows 1. PIN/Password does. Hopefully, this will be addressed for those who choose to use a biometric method for logging in. An interesting side note about my fingerprints and choice of finger. When I was a kid I injured my right index finger and so I have a scar in the middle of that fingerprint. I decided to add one of my other fingers for scanning, one that does not have any scarring, and it logged me in on the first try every time. Weird because the scar should just be accepted as part of the fingerprint but this may just be a limitation of the scanner and not the process itself. I can remember using that old Microsoft Fingerprint reader all the time back in the day. I used it so much that at one point I forgot my system/site passwords but the convenience of simply swiping your finger across a reader and getting immediate access to your system and files was very handy. I am glad to be getting it back in Windows 1. When the hardware arrives for facial recognition and iris scanning finally arrives then we get to go all NCIS MTAC for gaining secure access to our stuff. Bring it on.
