Microsoft is taking aim at traditional single password systems with the upcoming version of Windows, by including built-in two-factor authentication according to ZDNet, which describes the move as “audacious plans to tighten security”.
Winbeta describes the features as “enterprise grade” security, and outlines the options available to security concerned users which include password and pin, password and biometric input, and more intriguingly a two-factor method that allows a mobile device to authenticate PC access via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. This would make accessing data on a stolen laptop or PC far harder for criminals, as it would require physical access to the mobile device to gain access.
