Description

This policy setting determines whether enhanced anti-spoofing is required for Windows Hello face authentication.

If you enable this setting, Windows requires all users on managed devices to use enhanced anti-spoofing for Windows Hello face authentication. This disables Windows Hello face authentication on devices that do not support enhanced anti-spoofing.

If you disable or don't configure this setting, Windows doesn't require enhanced anti-spoofing for Windows Hello face authentication.

Note that enhanced anti-spoofing for Windows Hello face authentication is not required on unmanaged devices.
