Unlocking a Windows computer got a lot easier

The computer is locked and you want to read your email. First of all you need to unlock which requires you to remember the password. Of course username is no problem, you  get usernames for all the users displayed on the desktop. Passwords have gotten a lot more complicated although some may get away with thier birthday or just 123.

With Windows Hello it has become lot easier with Windows 10, the latest operating system from Microsoft. It depneds on image recognition to tell who you are to your computer, apps, etc. You can unlcok Windows 10 devices and apps using your finger tip for finger print; iris of your eyes or face. It is simple, convenient and hassle free but will sacrifice neither security nor privacy.

This is cool stuff. It's not business as usual trying to recover your password and do not remember the hint; get a code to access, etc. It is hassle free but probably come with some ancillary issues like the requirements; which of the devices are supported image recognition, etc.
This video explains it with some examples:
