Windows Security Settings: Protect Your Device from Malicious Actors

With over 1.4 billion active devices per month, Windows is a prime target for malicious actors seeking to exploit security vulnerabilities.

To mitigate this risk, Microsoft has implemented various settings that allow users to protect themselves without relying on third-party software.

One such setting is Windows Hello, which enables users to log in using biometrics or a PIN instead of a password. To enable Windows Hello, navigate to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options and click either Facial recognition, Fingerprint recognition, or PIN.
