Why I don’t use Windows Hello, even though it’s more secure

The article discusses the author's reasons for not using Windows Hello, the biometric login feature in Windows 10 and 11, despite it being generally considered more secure than traditional password and PIN methods. The key points are: 1. Windows Hello is slower than using a PIN, as the author has experienced regular delays in facial recognition and fingerprint scanning. 2. The biometric authentication is not as reliable as traditional methods, as the author has found the facial recognition technology to fail under certain circumstances, such as bright lighting or wearing a hat. 3. The author's experience with Windows Hello has varied greatly depending on the hardware capabilities of their different devices, with some devices having better performance than others. 4. The author feels more familiar and comfortable with the traditional PIN authentication method. Despite the issues, the author expresses a desire to use Windows Hello in the future, as they believe Microsoft will continue to optimize the technology and make it more reliable and user-friendly through advancements in machine learning and AI.
