Windows 10 will lock the PC when the owner is away from the machine
By Windows
The Microsoft is studying a new way to automatically lock a computer when the user is away from the machine. The feature, called "Dynamic Lock", would be an extension of Windows Hello . The goal is to provide more security for users who work with sensitive data and can not be accessed by unauthorized persons. In some cases, go out for a coffee or for a longer meeting and let the PC unlocked can be a potential risk for the information.
The new option is already present in the test version of Windows 10 , from his build 15002 , released on Monday (9), but there is no forecast of when will the final edition of the operating system.
It is not known exactly how the feature will work, since Microsoft has not published its documentation. The focus, however, is that it is an extension of Windows Hello - which identifies the user through your camera biometric standards already registered - that will recognize when the computer owner is away and enable dynamic machine lock .
This suspicion is reinforced by that according to sources Windows Central, Dynamic Lock is called internally by Microsoft "Windows Goodbye", which suggests a connection between the two resources.
Nor does it rule out the possibility that it is just a new name to existing options such as locking downtime per device. The news should not lock the device immediately, which is useful for those who need to leave your computer constantly.
