Sign out from your account and ask the other person to sign in back with their own account. They will be prompted to setup a new profile, including the setup of Windows Hello with their own face or fingerprint sign-in.

All set! Now every time each of you will show your face or touch/swipe your finger you will get uniquely recognized and you will get access to your own PC profile.

Have a great week!

* Windows Hello requires specialized hardware, including fingerprint reader, illuminated IR sensor or other biometric sensors and capable devices.
