Native software to allow android biometrics to unlock windows 11?
Is there ever going to be software from microsoft(for security reasons) to allow you to use a remote android computer tablet or similar to activate windows with biometrics? I have a Tab S11 ultra I want to use to unlock it for playing steam games. Will this ever be a thing. I think one of the problems with steam is it needs to be active to work via steam link. But this works if coming out of sleep mode specifically. But anything to allow this or for a seperate app to wake and remotely use the desktop would be wonderfully useful. Especially something official that is secure. I'm coming from linux and I don't use 3rd party software in general. Obviously it would be insanely insecure to use any such software that is not official.
Could such software allowing a tablet to be used with other software to be a remote screen be used to not even need steamlink to play games. Unless the steamlink is better with the connection lag somehow.

Microsoft does not officially support software that enables Windows 11 to be unlocked via biometric authentication on Android devices.
