Windows Hello

This Electron sample uses:

• the WinRT Windows.Security.Credentials.UI.UserConsentVerifier runtime class to check availability; and
• Classic COM IUserConsentVerifierInterop to associate the verification dialog with the Electron HWND.

It demonstrates the same WinRT API shape commonly wrapped by a custom Electron native addon, without requiring sample-specific C++ or node-gyp.

Prerequisites

• Windows 10 or 11;
• Windows Hello configured for the current user;
• Node.js and Rust/Cargo; and
• a Windows SDK containing Windows.winmd.

Run

Build the local JavaScript runtime once from the repository root:

cd bindings\js
npm install
npm run build

Generate the WinRT and COM projections and run the sample:

cd samples\js\windows-hello
npm install
npm run generate
npm start

Click Verify identity. Windows displays its native verification dialog owned by the Electron window. Complete or cancel the prompt; the result is shown in the application.

To check availability without displaying the verification dialog:

npm run check
