Microsoft’s Windows Hello fingerprint authentication has been bypassed

Windows laptop manufacturers will likely need to fix this one.

This is why I use Linux, the fingerprint device wouldn't be supported so this wouldn't be an issue /s
Mmm yes security by non-functionality. A pillar of the modern cybersecurity framework.
Can't hack a brick 🤷
But you can use a brick to hack windows.
When you could have said crack, but instead said hack.
Something something Soviet Russia..
But you can use a brick to hack windows
yes indeed, the good ol' broken windows fallacy!
And this is why I am typing this on a 1921 Royal No. 10 typewriter.
Found Tom Hanks's Lemmy account.
Works for my webcam. Tbh I'd like someone to hack it, would mean they would've written drivers for it
It is called zero trust, killing functionalities is zscaler core business
Nah I use fprint on my arch laptop so there is fingerprint login technology. Hopefully that doesn't have security vulnerabilities.
It has vulnerabilities for sure. But they haven’t been found because no one cares about hacking you or the 1 other person on earth that use Arch and fingerprint security.
Security by obscurity lol
Correct answer.
Using any form of biometric 'login' under the US's "justice" system is supremely ill-advised.
That's funny, on my XPS Windows crashed when I tried adding a fingerprint. Works flawlessly under Arch.
Today I was fucking around with this shit. I can't even update my distro, otherwise ecryptfs will go adios, and fingerprinting will be broken.
One of the major reasons I gave up on trying to run Linux on my laptop was lack of fingerprint reader support.
That would be a plus for me, actually. I never liked fingerprint authentication.
How is not having support for something a plus for you? I swear to god, some Linux users are so stuck up.
Where to start....
My dumb TV doesn't support smart features. A plus.
My coffee maker doesn't support wifi. A plus.
My games don't support in-app purchases. A plus.
My windows 10 laptop (did you read that?! Whaaat, I'm not a Linux user???!!!) doesn't support Windows 11. Major plus.
My MacBook's OS version (no way!!!) doesn't support unnecessary FaceTime features. A plus.
What TV did you get that doesn’t have smart features?
I looked, but all the ones I could find were 1080p, no HDR, and either tiny or made for commercial/industrial installation.
I got a Sceptre one a few years ago. Okay quality, terrible speakers (though an external soundbar takes care of that.)
fingerprint login is not secure. period. Being stuck in using a password login is a plus
You could just disable fingerprint login, though.
Sure, but that's not the point of the conversation. The point is that some stranger is judging a whole community for the preference of one single person who may or may not belong to said community.
"what, you dont want to use the new door lock made from soggy white bread? You deadbolt losers are so stuck up"
So YES, from someone who was asked to do fingerprint authentication in a sensitive environment (and had to refuse, even to the salespeople pested me)
You can choose not to use it even if Linux supports it.
Yup. I know that.
Then I really don't see how it's a plus. Smaller kernel size? lol
The plus is that I don't even need to think about it.
My phone tries to trick me to enable fingerprint authentication every few months. My laptop? Perfection.
I have a Microsoft fingerprint reader that works fine on Linux lol
wouldn't be supported so this wouldn't be an issue
I did not expect that 😅
