  • No, it is the OS verifying what you know. The OS doesn’t care if you gave your password to anyone, just that whoever is opening the PC knows the password.

    Verifying who you are would be biometric verification or ID verification.

    In my case I require a password and a hardware key on login. That is still not verifying that I am myself, only that I know the password, and have the hardware key. If I added fingerprint scanning then I would have the holy trifecta and only then verify who I am.
