Microsoft's Recall Faces Backlash, Prompts Security Overhaul

The AI-powered feature now includes opt-in, Windows Hello integration, and enhanced encryption after privacy concerns.

Recall will now be optional, with users choosing to enable it during setup.
Windows Hello is required to access and search Recall's database, adding a layer of biometric security.
All captured data will be encrypted locally, preventing unauthorized access.
Initial user feedback highlighted significant privacy risks, leading to these changes.
The updated Recall feature will be available on Copilot+ PCs starting June 18.
