When Microsoft's Recall was first announced, it caused quite the uproar. Microsoft addressed a lot of the security concerns in a lengthy blog post.
Microsoft just released an update regarding the security and privacy protection in Recall . The blog post outlines the measures Microsoft is taking to prevent a data privacy disaster, including security architecture and technical controls. A lot of the features highlight that Recall is optional, and that’s despite the fact that Microsoft recently confirmed that it cannot be uninstalled.
Recommended Videos Microsoft also notes that Recall will only run on PCs that are eligible for Copilot+, and that comes with a hefty set of hardware requirements that bolster the security. This includes Trusted Platform Module 2.0, System Guard Secure Launch, and Kernel DMA Protection. If you choose to opt in, you can filter out certain apps or websites and not allow Recall to save data related to them. Incognito mode browsing is never saved either. You’ll be able to control how long Recall will save your data for, and how much disk space you’re willing to spare for those snapshots. And if you ever want to delete something, you can get rid of snapshots from a certain time range or all content from a specific website or app.
Microsoft promises that sensitive data in Recall is always encrypted and protected via the TPM and tied to your Windows Hello identity. Other users on the same PC won’t be able to access your Recall data; it’ll only be accessible within the Virtualization-based Security Enclave . That’s where all the Recall data resides, and only select bits of it are allowed to leave the VBS when requested.
