What’s new

We’ve added support for pin complexity and validation to Windows Desktop Login. Pins support any UTF-16 characters.

Important notes:

  • If Windows Hello is enabled and you are using the Windows Pin for login, if you install Beyond Identity’s Windows Desktop Login and configure a pin, the Windows Desktop Login pin will be used for login rather than the Windows Hello pin.

  • Windows Desktop Login will not use the Microsoft Group Policy Object (GPO) settings if configured.

Registry Values

The characters and rules for a PIN are stored in the policy registry key at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\BeyondIdentity\Authenticator\PIN
