Typing a password multiple times a day is one of those small-but-frustrating tasks that adds up fast. Whether you’re a front desk coordinator juggling calls or a provider moving between patient rooms, even a few seconds saved per login can make a difference.
That’s why MEDENT supports Windows Hello, a secure and time-saving biometric authentication option available on compatible Windows devices. Instead of typing a username and password, users can log in with just a glance or a touch using facial recognition or fingerprint scan.
Why Users Love It
Faster Access: Login happens in seconds, and there’s no more retyping passwords throughout the day.
Less Disruption: Keep your workflow moving, especially in high-traffic areas or shared workstations.
Enhanced Security: Biometric data stays local to your device and is never stored by MEDENT or transmitted, offering convenience without compromise.
Touchless Option: Facial recognition is especially helpful in sterile or hands-free environments.
Easy Setup, Instant Benefit
To use Windows Hello, your device must support biometric hardware. Your IT team or practice administrator can help you enable biometric login within Windows settings.
Within MEDENT, your practice administrator will need to allow biometrics in Password Rules. Then, simply click Enable in My Biometrics (Windows Hello) Setup to connect the integration.
