Windows Hello for Business
Passwordless authentication with biometrics or PIN. Phishing-resistant, helpdesk-relieving, included in every Windows Pro, Enterprise, and Education license.
Passwords Are Your Biggest Security Risk
A password can be phished, guessed, reused, and typed into the wrong window. Every forgotten one lands on your helpdesk, and every reset is minutes your team does not get back. And SMS codes do not meet the phishing-resistant authentication strength in Microsoft Entra ID.
Windows Hello for Business offers passwordless authentication: login via face recognition, fingerprint, or PIN — phishing-resistant, device-bound, Zero Trust compliant. Included in every Windows Pro, Enterprise, and Education license. Cloud Kerberos Trust is the one hybrid path without a PKI.
