What heppened to Picture Password and PIN sign-in options in Windows 10 Tech Preview?

-

the sign-in options page under account in pc settings has ability change password. picture password , pin gone -- @ least on non-touchscreen system. there way them back?

details: clean installed pro (i.e., not enterprise) tech preview in 64 bit client hyper-v gen 2 vm on win8.1 system.  rebooted , logged in again microsoft account. session type "enhanced". i went to pc settings\users , accounts\sign-in options,  had 1 option -- change password.

hi,

after taking more time test on windows 10 tech preview (not enterprise version), noticed following things:

scenario 1: if have a local user account without password, may not picture password , pin appeared under sign-in option, or these 2 options greyed out.

after set password local account, can these 2 options worked again.

scenario 2: the computer joined in domain, both local account , domain account has pin sign-in option grey out.

group policy below control settings, have enable option worked again.

computer configuration\administrative templates\system\logon-> turn on pin sign-in
