Windows OS incorporates multi-factor authentication technology based on standards developed by the FIDO Alliance. The operating system includes improved biometric authentication through the Windows Hello and Passport platforms. This USB C Fingerprint Reader device enables the software to support fingerprint-recognition login. Credentials are stored locally and protected using asymmetric encryption. The Passport platform allows networks, software, and websites to authenticate users using a PIN or biometric login to verify their identity without sending a password.
