>The firm added that screenshots can only be accessed with a biometric login, and sensitive information such as credit card details will not be snapped by default.

How? This looks very hard to implement. Do they mean that they're not searchable by default?

And will setting your background to be a picture of a pile of credit cards be the only means of opting out?

(When Microsoft says a feature will be "opt-in", they're usually lying.)
