It's possible at this point that this patch won't make it into 66 before the freeze, but because of the upcoming Windows change, we still need it in 66, potentially via uplift. Marking for release tracking against 66.

From comment 0 it sounds like we'll want this on esr60 as well.

Is this something we need to backport to ESR60? If so, it'll need a rebased patch and an uplift approval request :)

It's not a bad idea to uplift, but not until we have resolution on bug 1528097 (which I haven't investigated yet). We'd also have to uplift bug 1522077.

This isn't going to make the 60.6esr release. Let's circle back during the next cycle.

Sounds good. I think the percentage of people using ESR that will move rapidly to the bleeding edge patchlevel of Windows 10 this month is going to be low.

Added a release note for 66: Easier, passwordless security: Added support for Windows Hello on Windows 10, allowing you to use your face, fingerprint, or external security keys for website authentication.

Dana, Kyle, since the fix in bug 1528097 is getting uplifted to ESR 60.7, maybe we could bring this in as well along with bug 1522077. What do you think? (asking you all since jcj is out)

I wasn't on the reviews for this, so I can't really speak for the complexity of uplift here.

I'm looking in to this, but it's unclear exactly what all needs to be uploaded and how safe it would be.

My analysis is that it would be difficult and risky to uplift this. These changes depend on a number of other changes (and I'm not even sure I've identified all of them), some of which landed before the great reformatting. If we're going to do this, it would need to be done by someone much more familiar with the implementation.

OK, thanks. Let's leave it for 68 ESR then.
