    PIN code greyed out without biometric sensor ?


    Good afternoon,
    I wanted to configure a PIN code in order to login to my computer, however this is greyed out (fingerprint is also greyed out).
    I don't have a biometric sensor on my laptop, I connected a keyboard with a biometric sensor, but PIN code is still greyed out.
    Would it ring a bell to anyone ?
    Do you think the fact that the laptop has no biometric sensor is related to this, or maybe there is some registry setting that I should check in order to enable it ?
    Not sure it would be a gpo used by my company, as my colleagues with laptops that have biometric sensors can enable PIN.
    Thanks ahead.

    When you add user account password you should able to add PIN for your user account.
