SecN.79290 (Customer) asked a question.
Long shot after reading through many articles, but using Okta and the Desktop MFA for Windows application integration, is there any possible use of the devices built-in fingerprint reader as an authentication method for MFA? Also, these devices have smart card readers built in.
Hello @SecN.79290 (Customer) , thank you for contacting Okta Community.
In other words, you would like to use Windows Hello for Desktop MFA, is that correct? Unfortunately, that is not a viable option. For details, please see:
Okta DesktopMFA is not Compatible with Windows Hello
Configure Desktop MFA for Windows to use FIDO2 keys - includes limitations and allowed factors
If you have a paid account, you can suggest a new feature to be added through the Okta Community page by going to the Community→ Ideas tab. Features suggested in our community are reviewed and can be voted on and commented on by other members. High popularity will increase the likelihood of it being picked up by the Product Team and implemented.
You can find more details here.
Regards.
