Biometrics & Facial Recognition in the domain

I would like to use both username & password. But only after the PC verifies the facial identity to the username. I hope that makes sense? This i a domain environment and it would add security to our domain.

The problem I run into in my career is john gave Jane his username and password while he was gone. This would prevent Jane from using Johns username & Password.

Has anyone accomplished this yet, and if so how?

    Hello @Vaughn Minter ,

    Thank you for posting here.

    Is your domain on-premise AD domain or Azure AD domain?

    If it is a on-premise AD domain, we can not set up two-factor authentication (TFA) to authentication. But maybe we can set up two-factor authentication (TFA) with third-part tool or method, we can search on the Internet for two-factor authentication (TFA) to authentication if needed.

    If it is a Azure AD domain, we can set up Multi-Factor Authentication.

    For more information about Azure Multi-Factor Authentication, we can refer to the link below.

    How it works: Azure Multi-Factor Authentication

    Never mind I asked our rep at MS we can do TFA or MFA via Windows Hello for business. Yes and she's getting one of the experts on it for me. Seems you can use biometrics password and PIN.
