Windows 10. A new surprise feature was released by Microsoft along with the October 2018 update, and it is one that many computer users have been asking for for some time. We are talking about a new feature for Windows 10 that allows users to log into their accounts for Microsoft online services using either the Windows Hello system or a USB stick with a security key and encrypted login password.
Windows 10. This functionality is offered as part of the October 2018 Update through the Microsoft Edge browser, so you will have to use it to log in, otherwise the procedure will be impossible. The obligation to use Microsoft Edge to benefit from this function of Windows 10 is not something new for the American company, and this is because in the past it has "linked" other functions for computers to its browser, or other applications.
Windows 10. SURPRISE function Launched by Microsoft
Windows 10. Microsoft claims that using this system will not make computers easier to break into by hackers, so users should not be afraid of this, especially since a face scan must be done to log in. The idea of scanning your face to locate you in a Microsoft service using Microsoft Edge is something very interesting, and Windows 10 will most likely extend the functionality to other applications in the future, although for now it is not clear when.
You now have the option of signing into your personal Microsoft account using the Edge browser and either Windows Hello or a FIDO2-based security device like Yubico's YubiKey 5. You won't have to remember your password every time you want to check mail in Outlook or buy a game for your Xbox.
Windows 10. For now, the Microsoft company limits this functionality only to the users' personal accounts, so those who use the online services in the educational environment, or in companies, will not have access to the system. It is not known when Microsoft will want to offer the same functionality outside of Microsoft Edge for Windows 10, but I am sure that many people would like to be able to use browsers such as Opera, Firefox, or Google Chrome to do the same thing.
