Does Windows Hello for Business require Azure?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 11:31 am

Windows Hello for Business is a new authentication and authorization system for Windows 10 that uses facial recognition and other biometric features to allow users to sign in and gain access to their devices and apps.

When you first set up Windows Hello for Business, you need to create a device provisioning profile (DPP) that contains the necessary biometric data. You can create a DPP using the Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) manager or by using the Windows 10 management tools in the Microsoft Azure portal.

Once you have created a DPP, you can use it to sign in to your devices and apps. To sign in with Windows Hello for Business, you need to have a device that is enabled with Windows Hello for Business and a compatible facial recognition camera.

You can also use a PIN or password to sign in to your devices and apps.

You can use a DPP to sign in to your devices and apps from any location that has internet access. You don’t need an Azure subscription to use a DPP.

You can also use a DPP to sign in to your devices and apps from any device that is registered to your Azure AD account.

PRO TIP: Windows Hello for Business does not require Azure and can be used without Azure. However, some features, such as multi-factor authentication, may require Azure.

You can use a DPP to sign in to your devices and apps even if you don’t have a Windows 10 device. You can use a DPP to sign in to your devices and apps using a web browser or a mobile app.
