# Windows Hello for Business should be configured where applicable

## Description

For Windows 10/11 devices, use of Windows Hello for Business replaces the use of passwords with strong two-factor authentication on devices. This authentication consists of a user credential that’s tied to a device and uses a biometric or PIN.

## Policy

* Windows Hello for Business should be configured where applicable

## Licensing Considerations

• Any tenant with Intune licensing can access this setting.

## Set-Up Instructions

Configure Windows Hello at the time of enrollment: [Configure a tenant-wide Windows Hello for Business policy with Microsoft Intune - Microsoft Intune | Microsoft Learn](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/protect/windows-hello)
