# Log In to Keeper With Windows Hello

### Windows Hello Login <a href="#windows-hello-login" id="windows-hello-login"></a>

Keeper is compatible with Windows Hello, a biometrics-based technology that allows users to authenticate and log into their Windows device using biometric facial recognition, fingerprint reader, or pin (available on Windows 10). If Windows Hello is configured on a user's device and enabled in Keeper, this eliminates the requirement for users to enter their master password at the Keeper login screen, further expediting the login process.

Enable Windows Hello:

1. Open the **Account Dropdown Menu**.
2. Click **Settings > Security**.
3. Toggle "Windows Hello Login" on.
4. Once you have read the warning notification, click **Enable** to accept.

#### Windows Hello Setup <a href="#windows-hello-setup" id="windows-hello-setup"></a>

If Windows Hello is not yet configured on your device, you will receive a prompt to open your Windows Settings to configure it. Once you have configured Windows Hello, close out of the Settings window and return to your Vault to proceed with steps 3 & 4 above (Enabling Windows Hello).

#### Authentic With Windows Hello <a href="#logging-in-with-windows-hello" id="logging-in-with-windows-hello"></a>

Next time you log in to Keeper, Windows Hello will first attempt to authenticate your identity. Once authenticated, your vault will be decrypted and you will be automatically logged into Keeper.

By clicking **Cancel** you will be returned to the login screen to log in with your Master Password instead.
