Can't find windows hello!

[PratikMade]

I can't find windows hello feature. I searched settings page under sign in option is not there. Am I missing something?

Windows Hello requires special hardware. You need either a special camera or a fingerprint reader attaches to your computer.

In Cortana search sing-in options add a PIN, and after that you should have the ability to setup fingerprint via Hello on the same screen.

On my Lumia 640 XL I didn't do anything. Didn't add a 4 digit pin. I don't have to do anything to sign in. It boots straight into Windows 10 with no problem. Unless you are using a shared phone -- why would you need a password?

Windows Hello with fingerprint is a Windows 10, not windows Phone 10 feature.

AS for the phone, some people like to have it unlocked just by looking at it (camera recognition) and at the same time keep it safe from other people, regardless of the reason.

I had the same problem, I followed the steps here http://forums.windowscentral.com/windows-hello/371238-fingerprint-scanner.html#post3180841 and now my fingerprint scanner is working with windows hello (the post says to uninstall your driver through devices manager and then check for updates in windows update and it should find the fingerprint scanner driver)
