Windows Login

Windows Login Protection by ESA provides Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) only to password-protected Windows accounts (domain or local accounts). In this case, 2FA protects the original "password credential provider."

If a Windows account can be accessed by Windows Hello, PIN, or a Microsoft account, ESA cannot provide 2FA protection for those login types.

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)

ESA provides Two-Factor Authentication only if the RDP client requires the first factor (username & password) before creating the remote session. Windows RDP works this way.

ESA RDP protection disables other credential providers.
