Re: Trust Who?

More pertinently, will businesses be OK with trusting their security to an OEM....

My (large) employer has migrated us to Windows Hello. In the name of making passwords more secure, we are now using 6 digit PINs. (because the fingerprint readers in our laptops are unreliable) So instead of the 12 character mixed case, numbers, special chars, etc. passwords.... 6 digits. And we still have to maintain those 'unsecure' passwords for various parts of our network that don't support Hello. I feel safer already.
