To fully get rid of them, not only do we need to address all that is bad with them, we also need to acknowledge all that is good; they are familiar, portable, and can be used almost everywhere.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-82338\" src=\"https:\/\/cloudblogs.microsoft.com\/uploads\/prod\/2018\/04\/fig1-passwords-pros-vs-cons-1024x489.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"334\"\/><\/p>\n<p><em>Figure 1.

More than 5,000 businesses have deployed Windows Hello for Business, with adoption on over one million commercial devices.<\/p>\n<p>For more details, refer to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aka.ms\/whfb\">www.aka.ms\/whfb<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Windows Hello is an excellent replacement for passwords on personal PCs. That said, we acknowledge that there are many scenarios that involve shared PCs used by transient users and that provisioning Windows Hello is not ideal. To that end, we are working hard on lighting up a series of portable credentials that are more suitable for such shared PC scenarios.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Microsoft Authenticator app<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/app.adjust.com\/dku5qky_lzq8cok?fallback=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.microsoft.com%2Fauthenticator%3Fcmp%3Ddku5qky_lzq8cok\">Microsoft Authenticator app<\/a> enables users to authenticate to their Microsoft account using their mobile phone. It is built on similar secure technology that Windows Hello uses, and packages it into a simple app on your mobile device.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a video that provides a quick overview of the Microsoft Authenticator app.<\/p>\n<p>To download the app and learn more, go to <a href=\"https:\/\/app.adjust.com\/dku5qky_lzq8cok?fallback=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.microsoft.com%2Fauthenticator%3Fcmp%3Ddku5qky_lzq8cok\">Microsoft Authenticator<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Windows Hello and our mobile Authenticator app are both great alternatives to passwords. But to create a world without passwords, we need an interoperable solution that works across all industry platforms and browsers.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Windows Hello and FIDO2 security keys<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Microsoft has been aligned with the Fast Identity Online (FIDO) working group from the start.\u00a0 The alliance represents 250 organizations from various industries on a joint mission to replace passwords with an easy-to-use strong credential. With the recent ratification of <a href=\"https:\/\/fidoalliance.org\/fido2\/\">FIDO2<\/a> security keys by the FIDO working group, we\u2019re updating Windows Hello to enable secure authentication for many new scenarios.<\/p>\n<p>For more details, please check out our latest blog, <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.windows.com\/business\/2018\/04\/17\/windows-hello-fido2-security-keys\/\">Windows Hello and FIDO2 Security Keys enable secure and easy authentication for shared devices<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s new in the Windows 10 April 2018 Update?<\/h2>\n<p>Among many new and exciting features in the Windows 10 April 2018 Update, we set out with the goal to deliver an end-to-end product experience that\u2019s password-less ready.
