Requires Microsoft Hello, which seems to be a biometric login, which as I understand it means that it is not covered under 5th amendment protections against self-incrimination. You can't simply refuse to give up your fingerprint or facial recognition, and now cops just plainly have access to whatever your computer usage history is.

Microsoft Hello can also be a PIN.

A PIN isn't exactly high security...

The pin can be numbers, letters and symbols as well though

The default Windows Hello PIN

  • Must be at least 4 characters long
  • Can’t be longer than 127 characters
  • May include uppercase letters
  • May include lowercase letters
  • May include digits
  • May include special characters

That’s plenty secure and is not biometric.
