Exploring User Authentication with Windows Hello in a Small Business Environment
summary
A five-week deployment in a ~40-person small business studies 13 participants, measures authentication timings and UX scores, and finds Windows Hello is faster and preferred but mainly used with PIN fallback: average login time 3 seconds vs 5.7 seconds, user experience scores rise across all scales, and 13 participants mostly choose PINs over biometrics; barriers include missing or docked sensors, distance to cameras, privacy and reliability concerns, and fear of lockout despite successful overall adoption.
