Compared with the previous operating system, Win10 has done a particularly good job in system security, especially the addition of Windows Hello, which is represented by biometrics, which makes it even more powerful. So what security measures does Win10 provide? Let's take a look at it.
Account + password
This is probably the most common form of authentication currently used. By setting the account name and password for the user, the true identity of the logged in person is determined, and the corresponding privilege is given.
Win10 provides two types of accounts and passwords, ranging from ordinary accounts for local use to Windows Live accounts for cross-platform.
The biggest benefit of the latter is that you can log in to your account on any Win10 device, sync configuration and other personalized information.
PIN code
The account password is very convenient, but there is also a problem, that is, it is not convenient to remember.
The PIN password was originally designed to replace complex Windows Live accounts with a simpler account, especially when your Windows Live account is also used for other security settings. A separate PIN can effectively prevent password leakage.
Of course, the late PIN also applies some complexity rules. Some simple passwords cannot be effective, but the minimum 4 characters requirement is still better than the Live account.
Drawing unlock
Drawing unlocking is a very interesting form of login in Win10, mainly designed for touch screen users, but you can still unlock it by mouse click to simulate finger movement.
Drawing unlocks is a bit like Android's "lock screen pattern" in principle, but it's more secure. You can draw a few points in the diagram to design the trajectory, which greatly increases the difficulty of guessing, and makes cracking almost impossible.
Fingerprint, face, iris
Windows Hello is a biometric verification mode that includes face recognition, fingerprint recognition, and iris recognition. This feature, like today's smartphones, enables biometric logging on Win10 devices.
Win10's facial recognition uses infrared imaging technology. On the one hand, the dependence on light is low, on the other hand, the security guarantee is higher. For example, if you want to take a photo to fool Win10, it is simply not feasible.
