TL;DNR just an observation not even an answer

 

That such is being looked for implies There is a blockage which implies windows hello requires a trusted camera which in turn implies a potential security breach opportunity.  This very question makes me mistrust windows hello.  I’m hoping the answer to this one is “no” but I fear it may not be.

No, Windows Hello needs an IR camera to work. And why exactly would you want a loophole that would compromise the security of your security solution?

honestly I feel like someone would want this to trick someone into unlocking their computer, but then again if said loophole existed you would need access to set it up so

I'm pretty sure that this is not the right platform for those kinds of questions

Yeah, but then you have much better options... I have been thinking about cutting a hole in my laptop for a permanently attached USB fingerprint reader for a long time but I can't find a free spot and would have to figure out a way to get another USB port since I only have two (hint: mini PCIe).

Having a laptop with a 720p webcam doesn't automatically mean that you're gonna have access to Windows hello.
