Assessment Title
Rule Text
Windows 10 Mobile must be configured to disable authentication mechanisms providing user access to protected data other than a Password Authentication Factor (e.g., using a fingerprint), unless mechanism is DoD-approved.
Description
Discussion Text
The fingerprint reader or iris scan (supported by some Windows 10 Mobile devices) can be used to authenticate the user in order to unlock the mobile device. At this time, no biometric reader has been approved for DoD use on mobile devices. This technology would allow unauthorized users to have access to DoD sensitive data if compromised. By not permitting the use of non-password authentication mechanisms, users are forced to use passcodes that meet DoD passcode requirements.
