Firefox 66: The next big Firefox update will include: a new feature for Windows 10 devices: the next browser will support Windows Hello.
Windows Hello is a key feature of Windows 10 and can be used with cameras or fingerprint sensors built into new devices or peripherals that support it.
In addition, Microsoft gives developers all the tools necessary to integrate Windows Hello into their applications. So many applications have already been updated with support for biometric identifiers, such as Enpass, which is currently one of the leading password managers.
Microsoft itself has already started adding support for Windows Hello to many of its own applications, such as Browser Microsoft Edge.
So the Mozilla Foundation thought of following in Microsoft's footsteps with a similar update - an addition to Firefox.
Once Windows Hello is set up in Windows 10, Firefox will let you sign in to all your favorite websites by checking your face or fingerprints fingerprints, provided of course the appropriate hardware is present. The feature is currently under development and should be available to all users with the release of Firefox 66 in the spring.
Needless to say, this option will only be available for Firefox on Windows 10 and as mentioned above, special hardware that can support Windows Hello will be required.
According to Mozilla's release schedule, Firefox 66 should be released for all supported platforms on 19 March. We are currently waiting for an upgrade to the latest stable version of Firefox 65.0.1.
