11.20 Windows Hello

The Windows Hello method facilitates you to use your Windows Hello fingerprint and facial recognition authentication to log in to Windows 10 operating system. Advanced Authentication supports the Windows Hello fingerprint and facial recognition.

To authenticate using the Windows Hello, perform the following steps:

  1. For fingerprint authentication: Ensure that a fingerprint reader is connected to the required device.

    1. Place your enrolled finger on the reader when using a touch sensor or swipe your finger when using a swipe sensor.

      If the fingerprint matches with the fingerprint enrolled on Windows 10 operating system, Windows Hello authentication is successful.

  2. For facial recognition: Ensure that an external camera is connected to your computer.

    NOTE:This method supports all the devices that Windows Hello works with. For example, the Windows Hello facial recognition works with only the infrared cameras. Therefore, the Advanced Authentication Windows Hello method also supports only the infrared camera for facial recognition.

    1. Present your face to the camera.

      If the face matches with the facial image enrolled on Windows 10 operating system, Windows Hello authentication is successful.
