Is it possible to setup Windows Hello with a fingerprint enabled security key but without a PIN?
Hi, I see in the knowledge base this section about Windows Hello and the PIN:
https://support.1password.com/windows-hello-security/
Use a strong, alphanumeric PIN when you set up Windows Hello. It’s always possible to use your Windows Hello PIN to unlock 1Password, so make sure your PIN is strong and memorable. Consider using the 1Password password generator to generate it.
Does anyone have an idea why?
I mean... The whole point of a fingerprint enabled security key is to go passwordless. I'd like it to be mandatory: if one cannot provide the fingerprint, I don't want them to unlock 1password. But Hello allows someone to avoid the fingerprint and just type the PIN! It's like making the whole bio security optional... I don't understand why. And because the PIN is mandatory, I cannot setup the security key without one.
So in order to follow the recommandation here, which is very logical given the process (even if I don't understand at all the reason behind it...).
I don't want someone to access too easily my 1password vault with only a PIN. In fact, I don't want a PIN to remember at all. Because if I setup one (and I'm forced to), I'll have to remember it and provide it sometimes when asked by Hello. I don't want that. It becomes yet another impractical password, nullifying the very idea of using a fingerprint and forgeting about stupid random complicated passwords generated for me :'(
