PAM-WindowsHello

⚠️ You probably do NOT want to use this for anything security-critical ⚠️
I am not responsible for anyone bypassing the login on a system you install this to!

This utility allows to authenticate in WSL using Windows Hello

Installation

  1. Download WindowsHelloAuthenticator.exe from the Releases page or the Actions tab
  2. Save the file to /usr/local/bin/WindowsHelloAuthenticator.exe in your WSL distro.
  3. Ensure that the file is owned by root:root and has 0755 permissions
  4. Copy pam_config from this repo to /usr/share/pam-configs/windows-hello
  5. Run sudo pam-auth-update --package --enable windows-hello

If your distro does not have pam-auth-update, you'll need to update the files in /etc/pam.d/ manually
