How to Login to Windows using Samsung Smartphone

Windows Hello is a new feature in Windows 10 which offers a more personal way to sign in to your Windows 10 devices with just a look or a touch. Most PCs with fingerprint readers already work with Windows Hello, and more devices that can recognize your face and fingerprint will be available in the future. Samsung has now updated Samsung Flow app to support login to Windows 10 using your Samsung smartphone. Using the app, you can authenticate your Tablet/PC with your smartphone, share content between devices, and sync notifications from your smartphone to your Tablet/PC.
