Best practice using same OneDrive Personal Vault on 2 PCs
Finally configured Personal Vault (should have done this long ago) in our Family OneDrive. When I unlock it, I use a PIN on my Win 11 pc to authenticate. When I login to the same Personal Vault on another PC, a request goes out to the Microsoft Authenticator on my iPhone.
I would love to just let that PC use a PIN to login and not sent a authentication prompt to the Authenticator app. Is there a way to do this?

PIN-only unlock on multiple PCs is not supported for OneDrive Personal Vault.
You must authenticate the first time on every new PC
After that, PIN/Windows Hello works normally
No way to bypass the initial Authenticator approval
No setting exists to make every PC unlock using only a PIN
I hope that helped you a little.
