Disable Windows Hello PIN for few devices

Hi Floks,

 

We want few devices to disable for Windows Hello PIN for customer needs, 

we have tried below steps few

 

Method 1: Using Group policy settings.

  • Go to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Biometrics
  • On the right side, double-click on Allow the use of Biometrics and select Disabled.

    Method 2: Disabling Windows Hello in Registry

    As per few blogs we couldn't find the below registry on those device

    • KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\default\Settings\AllowSignInOptions

      Even we have tried to apply and see via Intune to disable below settings. Any help how we can make disable via Intune. Thanks

  • Hi, but is the goal that they can't use Windows Hello for PIN access (so only with fingerprint or face) or enforce password access?
