Unless special third-party software is used, Windows 8.1 will not allow fingerprint login to a Microsoft Account unless the reader use Windows Biometric Framework drivers. Unfortunately, several devices, such as the very popular DigitalPersona U are U
4500 external USB fingerprint reader, do not have WBF drivers available for them. Without WBF drivers, current WIndows 10 Tech Preview (as well as Windows 8.1) will not recognize the reader in PC sign-in options settings. Will Windows Hello (and Windows
Passport) still require fingerprint readers with only WBF drivers, or will they also be able to support non-WBF fingerprint readers?
