Microsoft to add fingerprint support to Windows 10 MobileMay 14, 2016 - 11:27 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Some time this summer, Microsoft will add fingerprint support to Windows 10 Mobile, giving mobile users another security option, SlashGear said. Microsoft recently confirmed the planned fingerprint support at the WinHEC conference, saying that it’ll be available as part of Windows Hello, the Windows 10 feature in which a device recognizes its owner using facial recognition and more. Windows Hello, to state things simply, is a security feature that uses a device’s camera to recognize your face, and uses a laptop’s (and soon, a smartphone/tablet’s) fingerprint sensor to check whether the person trying to access the device is you, SlashGear said. Microsoft will be rolling out the new support with the Anniversary update this summer, but when it arrives, you’ll need a tablet or smartphone equipped with a fingerprint sensor to use it. The HP Elite x3 will be the first Windows 10 Mobile device to offer fingerprint authentication, and more devices will no doubt follow quickly after.
