What is Windows Hello for Business?
Windows Hello for Business is Microsoft’s passwordless authentication solution. It replaces traditional passwords with secure two-factor verification directly on the device. You sign in using facial recognition, a fingerprint, or a PIN – combined with a secure, encrypted key stored on the device.
This makes logging in both easier and more secure. Unlike passwords, which can be stolen and used remotely, Windows Hello for Business requires physical access to the registered device and local identity verification. It protects against common attacks like phishing and password spraying.
