Windows Hello will let user sign in to Windows 10 devices by using finger print, iris or face of the user making it more secure.
Microsoft is a member of Fast Identity Online Alliance (FIDO) and this February, Microsoft announced that Windows 10 would support theFIDO authentication methodwhich means transformation of passwords to stronger forms of identity.
