My company tried disabled Windows Hello/pin for some people. Which means you have to use your main Microsoft password to unlock your computer.

Which means people are going to leave their laptops unlocked or (more likely and) use a simpler password for their main account..

Such a baffling decision. They reversed course on it though. I think..

I can kind of see the advantage to disabling it, we started using Windows Hello recently and while it’s mostly been good we have seen an increase in the amount of people forgetting their Microsoft password since they no longer need to use it to sign in every day.
