Hi Yes, Windows Hello for Business PIN login should work for desktops with roaming profiles or hotdesking. Windows Hello for Business allows users to set up a PIN as an alternative to a password for signing in. The PIN is tied to the user's device and can be used for authentication even when the device is not connected to the internet. Users can set up a PIN when they register their device with Windows Hello for Business. The PIN is stored securely on the device and can be used for authentication even when the device is offline. To use Windows Hello for Business PIN login, the device must meet the minimum hardware requirements for Windows Hello for Business. This includes a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 1.2 or higher, and a biometric sensor or a PIN pad. If the device does not have a biometric sensor, the user can still use a PIN for authentication. Here is a link to the Microsoft documentation on Windows Hello for Business PIN login: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/identity-protection/hello-for-business/hello-identity-verification

Hi Team,
I wonder if anyone here can clarify whether the Windows Hello for Business PIN login (passwordless) can work for the desktop with a roaming profile/hotdesking?
Because the Desktop does not have a biometrics-enabled device, unlike the laptops.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
