Having Google authenticator is a big plus it helps me with all my authentication needs. And makes it when dealing with the authentications, because it goes right through Google

Windows Hello lets you sign in to your device apps, online services and networks using your face, fingerprint or a PIN. You can also reset Windows Hello so that nobody can use it to access your Microsoft account services, including Xbox cloud services. You will still be able to unlock your devices. Feedback now.

Got stuck on lock screen. After putting correct symbol the screen flashes and asks me for the symbol again. Great way to lock you out of everything.

Be warned. When you do an export of keys it also means delete everything off the phone after. They will make that easy, just click, next, next, next .gone. You wouldn't really think an export of your keys would automatically lead to a deleted (sure it might have said, but if like me, you just wanted to get to the end and start again, because you hadn't got the qr codes saved, so start again). You might then think ok they delete them, but they must get and are you sure, or please type delete. No.

Worst Authenticator Ever! My codes were synced but while exporting one by one using QR Code, I lost my 70+ keys. That's devastating for me.
