Configure Windows Hello (Windows)


Windows Hello is a more secure way to get instant access to the Windows 10 devices using biometric gestures (fingerprint/facial recognition) or PIN gesture. This profile allows admins to configure fingerprint/facial recognition or set a PIN on the enrolled devices that help the users to get access to the applications, websites, and networks.

Note: The device must be Azure AD Joined and enrolled through Windows EMM or Dual Enrollment mode. The device should support Windows Hello for this feature to work.

To configure fingerprint/facial recognition or set a PIN on the enrolled device(s), follow these steps:

1. Navigate to SureMDM Web Console > Profiles > Windows > Add > Windows Hello > Configure.

2. Enter a Profile Name.

3. Configure Windows Hello settings and click Save.
