I have a Surface Pro 4 with Windows 10 and a local-only account, and I log in with Windows Hello. Is that unusual or deprecated in Windows 11 or something?
- neogodless 4y agoDo you use a security key? It seems like you need a Microsoft Account otherwise. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/sign-in-to-your-microsoft-account-with-windows-hello-or-a-security-key-800a8c01-6b61-49f5-0660-c2159bea4d84 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/sign-in-to-your-...
- Godel_unicode 4y agoFor Windows 10 that’s absolutely not the case, you can use any Windows Hello method you want with a local account. Most of that article is talking about security keys because they are more involved than Hello.
- britneybitch 4y agoNo security key, just my face. That link also seems to say it can be used without an online account. Hence my question.
