What is Windows Hello ?

‘Windows Hello’ Authentication

Windows Hello is Microsoft’s  biometric  authentication  platform  that works by scanning your face, iris, or fingerprints to verify your identity, replacing the password to sign into your account.
Passport is Windows Hello for the web. You can log into online services like  email,  social  media  and  enterprise  software  instantly  and  relax with the added security of your device instantly locking if someone else tries to use it.

At the moment most machines won’t be able to use Windows Hello face recognition, since you will need specialised hardware such as Intel’s RealSense camera that is capable of infra-red photography. Windows Hello will still support existing fingerprint readers.
