    Yes, once you deploy Windows Hello for Business, the user will see additional login credential provides such as PIN, fingerprint, and/or Facial recognition depending on the hardware and if the user enrolled biometrics.

      Yes of course, let me clearify:

      When will we be able to demand, for instance, both Facial recognition AND a PIN/Password to login?

        Great question. Windows Hello for Business currently is two factor authentication-- something you have ( a private key protected by the TPM) and, something you have (PIN) or something part of you (Bio).  We are investigating multi-factor authentication (all three factors), but no time line has been established. 

         

        What would be interesting to know is what business requirement does three factors authentication satisfy in your organization that two factors do not?
