Are you using Windows Hello?

Posted on December 20, 2020 at 11:55 CST by Susan Bradley • Comment in the Forums
- The number of consumers using Windows Hello to sign in to Windows 10 devices instead of a password grew to 84.7 percent from 69.4 percent in 2019.

Hmmmm….. so I have a couple of computers that demanded that I set up a PIN and then I flipped it back to password. For sure 84.7 percent of us do not have the hardware to support biometric process. Given the amount of posts I’ve seen about “how do I get rid of the PIN“, I’m not convinced that 84.7 percent of us CHOSE the PIN process willingly. Rather a feature update was installed, realized that our computers could handle a PIN enablement and walked us through that.

What do you think? Do you think 85% of us use Windows Hello?
