How To Setup Windows Hello in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update

 

Windows Hello, Microsoft's technology in Windows 10 that allows you to use biometric signatures such as your fingerprint or a facial scan to validate your identity, is receiving a nice feature bump in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update.

In addition to authenticating your identity for granting access to your Windows 10 device, the service is now integrated into apps and websites in Microsoft Edge to grant you access to sensitive and personal information without the use of a password.

Note: App developers and website builders must build this capability into their offerings for Windows Hello to work with them.

This gallery shows you the setup process for both fingerprint and facial recognition with Windows Hello in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update.

This article assumes you already have your hardware peripheral installed and ready to use.
