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.

Dusknoir The password in Windows 8 never bothered me that much. I am on windows 8.1 and I have to say overall quality of the OS I was impressed.
I didn't like the fact that it showed your email everytime you login.

OhDiegoCosta Whenever biometrics are mentioned, everyone jumps on their Illuminati, Orwellian state bandwagon.
Because no matter where you have it, someone will have access to it.
Once we go there, fingerprints will be useless for the Police if people could steal someone's.
