How would you handle user switching? Would users have to go through a password screen to use anything?

The way Apple TV allows doing it is fine but the iPad could probably make things even easier since it has Face ID authentication as an option too.

The bigger limitation is that most apps don't tie into the profile well yet, but it has not also been around long in a just a niche product as well.

Window with Hello cameras can basically do this today.

TouchID. I’d I tap, I get to see my stuff. If my wife does, her profile comes up.
