This article will show some quick ways to allow or block a domain user from logging on using biometrics in Windows 11.
How to Allow or Block a Biometrics Log-On via the Local Group Policy Editor

- Press the Win + R key to open the Run tool.
- Type gpedit.msc in the search bar and click OK.
- In the Local Group Policy Editor, head towards the following location:
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Biometrics

- Open the Run tool, type regedit in the search bar, and press Enter.
- In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Biometrics\Credential Provider
- Right-click the Credential Provider key in the left sidebar, hover the cursor to New, and choose DWORD (32-bit) Value.
- Name the value Domain Accounts.
- Double-click on the Domain Accounts value, type 1 in the Value data section to enable biometrics log on and 0 to disable biometrics log on for domain users.
- Click OK to save the changes.
