In today’s digital world, security is more important than ever. Passwords alone no longer provide sufficient protection against data loss and unauthorized access. This is where Windows Hello for Business comes into play. This modern authentication method from Microsoft enables companies to authenticate their employees more securely using biometric data such as facial recognition or fingerprints, along with additional unlock factors like PIN codes or trusted signals. Furthermore, Windows Hello for Business supports multi-factor unlock, combining several authentication factors to make device access even more secure. This multi-factor unlock offers a significant security advantage by integrating multiple layers of protection, thereby significantly reducing the risk of security breaches.

Windows LAPS (Local Administrator Password Solution) provides centralized, simple, and secure management of local administrator passwords through Microsoft Intune. Each device receives its own, time-limited local administrator password. Windows LAPS independently manages the administrator passwords in terms of expiration and rotation. The passwords are stored either in Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) or in the local Active Directory.
The centralized management of all local administrator passwords simplifies control and monitoring. The time-controlled rotation of passwords significantly reduces their exposure duration. In addition, access to the stored passwords is strictly controlled, which makes unauthorized access more difficult and overall increases the security of the network environment.
