Support biometric new standard Win10 or no digital password

Computer Store News: Recently, Microsoft announced that Windows 10 will support the new online fast authentication (FIDO) standard, allowing running devices to be compatible with a large number of third-party biometric readers, and for those who want to be in the terminal device. Hardware vendors that add additional security features provide the required architecture.

The FIDO system is designed to protect biometric information with zero-knowledge proofs, allowing for eye or fingerprint scanning locally. Avoid exposing relevant data to the web. The 1.0 version of the standard was released in January this year, and Yubico and other companies have begun to build hardware that uses FIDO to log into Google accounts. And Windows 10 will support FIDO 2.0. In the design of the new standard, Microsoft also contributed its own strength.

FIDO is an open standard and has been supported by many large companies, including Microsoft, Google, PayPal and Bank of America. Unlike existing fingerprint readers, FIDO can provide faster and more localized authentication methods. Dustin Ingalls, Microsoft's security and identity project manager, said that the password is further "something a priority for Microsoft".
