Windows Hello: Microsoft is making the password obsolete in Windows 10
Windows Hello is an authentication system that uses a variety of biometric signatures and combines hardware and software to allow for seamless and secure user recognition and sign-in. According to Microsoft, the ideal scenario here would be for you to simply look or touch a new device running Windows 10 and to be immediately signed up.
Windows Hello relies on common hardware, but takes everything to the next level: fingerprint scanners, cameras with infrared sensors and so on. The software analyzes input from such hardware to confirm your identity and then signs you in, without requiring you to remember a password.

DankStorm I'm glad they are focusing on making everything private. Not sure if I still trust them with any private information.
I also dont but hopefully they can change it so that I do trust them with private things.

Nice. Hate having to put my password in every time I wake my computer up from sleep on Win10 tbh.

There will be a lot of bugs, they can't completely remove the password as an option. Anyone who disagrees is an idiot.
