    Dear EnterpriseArchitect,

    While the Control Panel may not display the PIN setup option directly, you can configure Windows Hello PIN by following these steps through the modern Settings interface:

    How to Set Up a PIN for Windows Hello:

    1. Open Settings Press Windows key + I or click the Start menu and select Settings.

    Navigate to Accounts In the left-hand menu, click Accounts, then select Sign-in options.

    Choose PIN (Windows Hello) Under Ways to sign in, locate PIN (Windows Hello). If it’s available, click Set up or Add and follow the on-screen instructions.

    If You Don’t See the PIN Option:

    Ensure your device meets the hardware requirements for Windows Hello.

    Check that your system administrator hasn’t disabled PIN login via Group Policy or device management settings.

    Confirm that your Windows edition supports Windows Hello (e.g., Windows 11 Enterprise multi-session may have limitations).

    Let me know how it goes, and if this answer helps, feel free to hit “Accept Answer” so others can benefit too 😊

    T&B,
