Suggestion for PC NFC/BT/Fingerprint lock

[scott1391990]

I am looking to get a PC locking device for my office which can lock my system if I am away at a certain distance and unlocks when I am in range.

The fingerprint lock would also work but with a proximity based lock even if I forget to lock it manually, it would automatically do it if I go away.

Only priority is reliability.
On amazon, I couldn't find much options to choose from.
Anybody who has first hand experience with something like this?

Use TPM
Trusted Platform Module coupled with Motion sensor on top of your PC or the room where your PC resides.
Now TPM became standard for Win11
PS: I was searching for this an year ago BTW

Windows has an inbuilt dynamic lock, uses Bluetooth

One of the biggest security risks in any organization happens when a user walks away from their PC without logging out. Microsoft has the solution (and it's not a password-protected screensaver).

Not sure about reliability. Also, Bluetooth range might be too big, depending on requirement.

Edit- windows hello can be used to lock/unlock when face not detected/going away from pc.

I think I will look into Windows Hello as I also need to buy a webcam. Might serve dual purpose, I guess.
Strange, that I had never heard of Windows Hello service before tonight.

Thanks guys

Be aware that not any webcam will work with windows hello. Afaik it uses IR along with regular cam. Think of it like FaceID for windows.
Make sure to check if the webcam is windows hello compatible.

Just checked. They don't have that model. I will try to find near my home tomorrow. There are some laptop and accessories showrooms by Dell, Lenovo and maybe few others
