Revisit: no "must enter password" checkbox on netplwiz

I have two Win10 OS drives on my machine:

1. an upgrade version: Win7 to Win10 1909 to Win10 2004 on a SATA SSD
2. fresh install of Win10 21H1 on a virgin NVMe

netplwiz in the upgraded version shows the "must enter password" checkbox whilst the new install does not:

I've perused the various posts here dealing with issue including the the "foundation" tutorial:
Enable or Disable Passwordless Sign-in for Microsoft Accounts

I do not have a "Require Windows Hello sign-in" option:


I believe this is because I'm running a tower setup without a camera/fingerprint capability:


The above two screens are identical in both versions.

For the fresh install I did the "isolate target drive" approach with LAN/all non-target SATA ports disabled via BIOS. I also pre-formatted the target partition to get the single partition OS environment (I use Reflect).

The "passwordless logon" via the registry modification was also attempted:


I must have missed something since that is not working either.

I really like being able the hit the on button on my way to that first cup of coffee in the morning and having my environment ready to rock-n-roll by the time I return ...

Thanks in advance for your time & expertise in helping me sort this out.

Hi Denis - long time no contact ...

Hmmm ... there must be more than one "passwordless" tutorial or else the one I originally followed has been update ...

anyhow, disabling "Require Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts" via the correct registry modification revealed the needed netplwiz checkbox after a reboot.

I still don't have the "Require Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts" line item on the sign options screen but since I don't need it at present

Marked as solved.
Thanx Again,
