I think you're confused. Windows Hello works offline. You were probably trying to sign into your Microsoft account, which IS online.

Mind you, the forced Microsoft account for new Windows 11 users is a huge problem. But it's a different one.

I am using my Microsoft account to login to my windows 11 systems. And they do seem to cache for offline access. Because I am still able to login without internet access.

Thanks for letting me know, I couldn't find any reputable sources on if they cache for offline when used with a Microsoft account.
