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
