Is Disabling Windows Hello a Good Idea for Shared Devices?

Asked By TechWhiz42 On

Hey folks! I've got four Windows devices that I want to set up as shareable so anyone can log in using their Office 365 credentials. I've linked them to my domain and enrolled them in Hexnode, but I ended up disabling Windows Hello because the users don't have any other devices for authentication. I'm starting to wonder if that was the right move. Is disabling Windows Hello a bad approach for this setup?

Honestly, I'm not a fan of Windows Hello either. It tends to make users think their password is just that simple 4-digit PIN they keep using, rather than actually remembering their complex password. It's a bit of a security risk in that way.

But that’s kind of the point of Windows Hello, right? It’s meant to reduce the need for passwords and lower the chances of them being compromised. Ideally, you’d want everything set up for single sign-on (SSO) to minimize entering passwords altogether.
