How to Add Fingerprint Authentication to Your Windows 11 Computer

To set up fingerprint recognition on Windows 11, follow these steps: 1. Open the Windows 11 Settings app by pressing the Windows Key and typing “settings.” 2. Navigate to the Accounts menu from the sidebar. 3. Click on Sign-in options. 4. Select Fingerprint recognition (Windows Hello) and click “Set up.” Enter your PIN or create one if you haven't already, then follow the prompts to register your fingerprint. If your fingerprint fails to work, you can revert to your PIN. Troubleshooting steps include restarting your computer, resetting your fingerprint data, adding an alternative fingerprint, or updating the fingerprint sensor drivers. Windows 11 also allows the use of facial recognition as an alternative to fingerprint authentication through Windows Hello. Benefits of using fingerprint sign-in include faster login, enhanced security due to the difficulty of replicating biometric data, and facilitating a transition to passwordless authentication systems.

Google Photos Could Make It Easier to Hide People from Memories

Google Photos is set to introduce a feature that allows users to hide specific individuals from their photo libraries, particularly from the Memories tab. This feature, tentatively called "Hide face from memories," was discovered during an APK teardown of the app. Users will be able to select faces to hide images or videos featuring those individuals, either from the Memories tab or the entire photo library. The process involves accessing a photo's metadata, tapping a menu next to the face, and selecting the hide option. The timeline for the feature's rollout is unclear, as it is still in the testing phase and may not be included in the final product.
