Windows 10: Windows Hello for Business authentication without network

Can Windows Hello for Business authentication succeed if the device let's say a laptop doesn't have a network connection? In this scenario, the laptop would not be able to communicate with Azure AD or an on-premises AD. Thank you.

Hi Rosenbrier,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



With the recent ratification of security keys by FIDO, Windows Hello allows security authentication for shared devices that allows full roaming experience. For more information, I would suggest you to refer to the article

Windows 7 virtual wifi authentication mode

Hello.

Just a quick question to whoever is using windows 7 virtual wifi capability - when you type in "netsh wlan show hostednetwork", cmd window displays a list of settings for your hosted virtual wifi.

I was wondering, is there a way to change authentication method from WPA2-Personal to simple WEP ?

Cheers.

 

Can't disable Windows Hello for Business

Hi Ted,


Just to share the difference between Windows Hello and Windows Hello for business.



Windows Hello just use fingerprint or face recognition uniquely identifies and authenticates that user to access Windows on that device.

Windows Hello for Business is Microsoft Passport technology. It uses "Windows Hello" to release a stored credential that is used as the second authentication factor by Microsoft Passport.

And Windows Hello for Business can only be used in AD or Azure AD. If you are deploying the policy to enable Windows Hello for Business, you can remove the GP, don't link them to OU, so that the client will not be applied the
policy. Then remove the Windows Hello in Sign-in options.
