Password-less login with Windows Hello for Business

The weakest link in an environment are username/password authentications because we as humans tent to reuse or use simple passwords. In addition some passwords look for us complex, but in fact they follow a standard pattern. For example most users use a Word and add then because of the Password complexity requirement a number or a special sign at the end. Additionally an attacker knows that a normal password policy in a company normally enforces a password length of around 8 to 10 characters. These two insights will help them to improve the chances for successful brute force attacks.

With Windows Hello for Business and FIDO 2.0 we help customers to improve their security posture and protect their identities with modern protection mechanisms like device bound bio-metrics and pins.
