After Setup

They can now log in using:

• Their PIN
• Their password (still works as backup)

The PIN is:

• Faster
• Device-specific
• More secure than auto logon
• Not stored like a domain password

If the PIN Option Is Missing or Greyed Out

If you don’t see the option, it’s likely a domain policy issue. You may need to enable:

Computer Configuration → Administrative Templates → System → Logon → Turn on convenience PIN sign-in

Or confirm Windows Hello for Business policy isn’t blocking it.
