Question How do I use Windows Hello Authentication (Windows.Security.Credentials)

[Cecil]

Windows 10:
OpenEdge 12.8.

This is my code and I want to start using the "Windows Hello" as a form of Authenticator using biometrics and or PIN code.

using Progress.Lang.*.
using Windows.Security.Credentials.*.

block-level on error undo, throw.

class ABLWindowsHello:
    
    method public void MicrosoftPassportKeyCredentials(  ):
        
        define variable IsSupported as logical no-undo.
        
        wait-for KeyCredentialManager:IsSupportedAsync() set IsSupported.
        
        if IsSupported then
            message "Windows Hello is supported"
                view-as alert-box info.
        else
            message "Windows Hello is not supported"
                view-as alert-box info.
        
        return.

    end method.

end class.

The compile Error:


I can't seem to find the Windows.Security.Credentials assembly .dlls.

You can usually find assemblies on on nuget (https://nuget.info/packages) but it doesn't look like there's a Microsoft-published version on there. Or even a .net 4 version ...

Yes, this seems to be hidden deep as there is no indication of where it can be found. I do not know if what is posted here is any help:

I've given up trying to use the Windows Hello / Password. I don't know how to implement this into the ABL.
