Use Windows Hello Face recognition without TPM chip

Question

Is there any possible way to use my IR-Webcamera for windows hello login without a TPM chip on my motherboard?

I had this setup WITH a TPM 2.0 before but something went wrong and the TPM is not recognized any more but aside from that, is it possible?

Answer 1

Generally, no, since it uses a cryptographic key as a second factor. However, many newer Intel and AMD processors do have a TPM module built into the CPU. You can check if you have one by running tpm.msc from the Run command, activated with Win+R.
