Does phone Hello unlock PC?

[mtiede]

I thought I read somewhere that when the Anniversary Update was on PC and phone that we could use the Hello feature to somehow unlock the PC if the phone was near. Or something like that. I have no idea where I read that, but so far, I don't see anything about it anywhere. Anybody know if this feature is supposed to exist or how it will work?

Here is a place that talked about it: https://www.thurrott.com/windows/wi...s-unlock-coming-windows-10-anniversary-update

And this: Windows 10 will soon let you unlock your PC with approved 'companion devices' | Windows Central

Don't know what became of it though

Doesn't work for me. Not insider, last updates. I use Bluetooth pairing to activate Mobile Hotspot so I do not have pull my mobile out and can enjoy the Internet on the laptop during the daily commute but unlocking it's a different story...
