Oct 18, 2023 at 15:21 comment added Martheen @AndrewLeach Interesting, on its 2015 launch Windows Hello demonstrated that it can tell identical twins apart since the IR image is still different, but I googled around and apparently at least one person in 2020 claimed it unlocked for their twin (no verification though, and I don't see it's picked up by any news). Wonder if something changed between updates.

Oct 18, 2023 at 2:37 comment added Mark Ransom Little known fact - twins don't have the same fingerprints. Your evil twin will be no help.
