What could possibly go wrong?

Why can't it just pair with your device like a Chromebook? Stupid unlocking your phone every time and accepting the prompt...

Cos the Chromebook is a hobbled piece of kit.... hardly worth the time or money.

I thought Windows 10 already offered being unlocked through devices?

passwords still the best way to go IMHO

I wonder then why MS wanted to emulate it with Windows 10 S...

I think its the other way round..

Google trying to copy Windows.... sucks when your idols are playing catch up hey?

Well ultimately there is still a password being used it's just hidden from the user.

100%...

Facial recognition, Authenticator or any other option is still a "password" just not a text based password.

Sure

 

[ToxicBunny]

Sure

It is... anyone who has a clue knows that

Lol I'll just keep watching MS trying to emulate it and failing because no one wants to use that crap Edge browser.

What does Edge have to do with this discussion?

Or is this a case of you are losing the argument so you have to shift the terms of the argument?

You do know that Edge is actually a decent browser, its mostly marketing and perception that people favour Chrome over it....

And how many people have Chromebooks again...

Kept crashing/dissapearing on me so I went back to Chrome.

They should test a version of Windows without the Windows 10.

Disappearing? That is honestly the first time I’ve heard of that problem
