Sign in with the Surface Pen Windows Hello is advanced authentication tech Microsoft employs that takes advantage of biometric systems to protect Windows 10 devices while allowing users to log in as seamlessly as possible. Apparently, Microsoft isn’t done: Another safe way to log in would be to allow users to sign into their devices with a signature, according to a recent patent. It’s pretty obvious that it all comes down to the Surface Pen, which is continuously being upgraded with every new Surface generation. Using a Surface Pen or any other stylus working on the same technology, users would simply need to provide their signature in order to be granted access to the desktop or to be allowed to install apps, for instance. Two-factor authentication Copying someone’s signature is not that hard and for reason, Microsoft wants to use a two-factor authentication system. The Surface Pen itself would be a secure token that could be used with the device: Microsoft thinks this kind of tech could be useful for tasks that require authentication, including making system modifications, accessing certain features, and logging in to a computer.
