Situatie
On Windows 11, you can securely sign in without taking anything on the screen using your face with the Windows Hello facial recognition feature. Windows Hello has been around for a number of years, and it’s a feature that offers several ways to ditch your password in favor of a more secure method of authentication, such as PIN, fingerprint, and face.
Although you can enable and configure the feature on virtually any device, you still need special hardware if you don’t want to use a PIN. For instance, fingerprint authentication requires a fingerprint reader, and the facial recognition option requires an infrared or Intel RealSense camera.

Set up facial recognition on Windows 11
To configure Windows Hello facial recognition to unlock a computer with your face, use these steps:
- Open Settings on Windows 11.
- Click on Accounts.
- Click the Sign-in options page on the right side.
- Under the “Ways to sign in” section, select the Facial recognition (Windows Hello) setting.
- Click the Set up button.
- Click the Get started button.
- Confirm your current password or PIN to allow Windows 11 to detect it is you.
- Look directly into the camera for Windows 11 to create a facial recognition profile of your face.
- Click the Close button.
Once you complete the steps, you can lock your device (Windows key + L) and then look into the camera to sign in. If the sign-in experience is not working as expected, under the “Facial recognition (Windows Hello)” setting, you will now find an “Improve recognition” option that you can use to keep training the system to better detect your face.
