mSecure access by company Administrators on work PC

Could somebody with Admin privileges in my organisation open the windows version of mSecure and access all of my passwords etc.

I get prompted for a fingerprint (or Password) to access the windows version but I could see this being bypassed by a system admin.

Hi Calvin,

Thank you for contacting us. For Windows Hello, I believe a user with Admin privileges would be able to get access to mSecure based on how the feature works. I'm not entirely sure about this, because I don't manage any PCs either in our company or personally, but I believe there is a master PIN that an admin would be able to use in order to unlock any app making use of the Windows Hello feature on the device regardless of whether you are using facial recognition, fingerprint recognition, pattern recognition or a simply PIN. To be clear, this has nothing to do with mSecure but how Windows has implemented the "Hello" feature.

If you are running mSecure on a managed PC in a work environment, I would suggest turning the Windows Hello unlock feature off in mSecure's Settings. That way, the only method for unlocking the mSecure app would be entering your account password after opening the app.
