Is it possible to block only PIN usage for end users? They will be able to continue using fingerprint biometrics.

PIN is mandatory and act as I fallback for other Windows hello Biometric methods to work. With that said, I believe technically it is possible to disable pin credential provider.

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

Per my experience, we cannot force the use of biometric only without PIN. To allow biometric authentication, we must still configure a PIN in case of failure.

Thanks for your time. Have a nice day!

Best regards,

Simon
