Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18936 (20H1) Releases

by ·

Microsoft has just begun to push Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18936 (20H1) to the Fast Ring users, and this beta will continue to improve the support for “Your Phone” app. Your phone comes with a screen mirroring feature that currently only supports a few devices. With Microsoft firmware updates, more Microsoft Surfaces are currently added to the support list.

At the same time, Microsoft’s update also brings a passwordless experience to Windows 10 account login, that is, calling alternative passwords such as face recognition and fingerprint recognition.

“For improved security and a more seamless sign-in experience, you can now enable passwordless sign-in for Microsoft accounts on your Windows 10 device by going to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options, and selecting ‘On’ under ‘Make your device passwordless’. Enabling passwordless sign in will switch all Microsoft accounts on your Windows 10 device to modern authentication with Windows Hello Face, Fingerprint, or PIN.”
