With the arrival of Windows 10 a few years ago, it is also true that Microsoft decided to develop different new functionalities with the intention of maximizing the usability of users when using this new operating system. And a good example is found in Windows Hello .
It basically consists of an alternative when it comes to logging into both devices and applications through facial recognition, fingerprints or iris scanning .
To do this, Windows Hello uses biometric-based technology , which offers Windows 10 users the ability to securely access their different devices and applications, as well as online services and networks.
It would therefore become an alternative to traditional passwords, and many specialists even consider it as a method not only more secure and reliable, but, above all, easier to use to access critical services, devices and data. which previously required access with passwords.
As many experts say, Windows Hello helps solve some security problems . In fact, although we think that traditional passwords are safe options to protect our logins or our data, the reality is that they are not so much, usually because many users tend to use passwords originally easy to guess, they usually write them on paper, or They may even end up not remembering them (something very common when we invent a password with letters and numbers that do not follow a specific pattern).
For example, it is not uncommon for many users to tend to use the same password (or variations of it) on multiple websites and applications, so they would actually be easy to find or guess.
Fortunately, solutions such as Windows Hello or other biometric authentication functions such as Touch ID or Face ID (developed by Apple) offer a much more secure alternative to passwords, mainly because it is based on a technology that is more difficult to break. .
