can i require PIN and Facial Recognition for Windows Hello?

Hi Greg,

Thank you for the info.

I'll be giving it a try .... not sure if the info provided will allow me to ...

• Require the use of ... BOTH PIN and Facial Recognition (in sequence) to access the machine.
  

Our IT Director said if we can configure Windows Hello to do this, this will satisfy the MFA requirement.

Any additional help and/or recommendations will be appreciated.

Thank you!
