Enable logging in to Windows with a PIN on a domain environment where you can't enable Windows Hello

[Andy]

Do you want to login to your Windows using a PIN, but a group policy object prevents you from doing it

Usually, this issue comes with this classic error message: *Some of these settings are hidden or managed by your organisation. -- But, worry not! As long as you have a local admin right on your computer, the registry hack below will do the job for you

Here's how to enable it, open up regedit.exe and head to the following key, creating it if the key path isn’t there:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System

Once you are there, create a new 32-bit DWORD on the right-hand side named AllowDomainPINLogon, then give it a value of 1.

If you're lazy to do it the steps above, I have exported my registry information, so you can simply copy the whole code down below, create a new text file and save it as a registry file (must be saved as .reg file) -- then merge the registry information using an Administrator account.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System]
"AllowDomainPINLogon"=dword:00000001

To disable it back, simply delete the above DWORD we created earlier.
