Hi all, I want to set up fingerprint sign-in in my Windows 10 notebook. Can it be set up without using a Microsoft account, in offline mode? Or is it mandatory to use Windows with a Microsoft account to enable this feature? Thanks
Hi, I found this for you - from the huge searchable Tutorials section, where answers to many usage questions can be found - do feel free to have a look:
Add or Remove Fingerprint for Account in Windows 10
Local users (Microsoft and local accounts) are able to sign-in to Windows with a fingerprint by default unless disabled.
Domain users will not be able sign-in to Windows with a fingerprint by default unless enabled.
When you boot to Safe Mode, you will only be able to sign in with your password, and not with any other sign-in option (ex: Fingerprint or PIN).
Starting with Windows 10 build 18995, Microsoft is taking another step forward in the Passwordless sign-in journey by adding Windows Hello PIN sign-in support to Safe mode, so that you no longer have rely on your password when troubleshooting your device.
