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.

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.
