Android device password not applying in Kiosk mode
This is by design in Android Enterprise - Dedicated Devices (Kiosk) mode. You can configure the PIN/password via compliance or configuration policy but it doesn't get enforced as there is no Company Portal on the device in this scenario. The solution is to include in your documentation and processes that the owner/technician sets up a PIN after device is setup.

Shuchi Mehta How does one set up PIN on device after device setup? (kiosk)
Eaglebeek76 In my use case, I have the policy configured to Exit Kiosk Mode with a PIN. So, once you exit Kiosk Mode (by pressing back button on screen multiple times) you can get to the settings app on device and then Set the screen lock as PIN.
Shuchi Mehta Before I try this, how does one reenter kiosk mode?
- Good morning,
I'm experiencing the same issue on fully managed corporate devices, can you confirm if it's possible to force a PIN on these devices?Durrante I would expect it to work in that scenario. Forcing a PIN complexity is a very big deal for user assigned devices.
- It's a real Kiosk mode device. :-)
Thank you very much for replying Shuchi. This is good to know.
