    Is it possible to require a password to log into a domain workstation, but unlock it with...


    So when users log in first thing, they would still need a password. But if they lock their desktop for a break and come back, they could unlock it with just a pin number?

    Windows 10 Require password to login, but allow PIN to unlock locked workstation

    Hi Everyone,

    Is there a method to require a password on login, but then allow PIN to unlock a locked workstation?

    The problem is that when users always use their PIN, they forget their password. If they are subsequently required to login to another workstation, or their password expires, they cannot reset or renew the password.

    In our environment, we require and enforce complex passwords. Workstations also lock after 10 mins of activity. For some users, continually entering a 'complex' password is a hassle and a constant source of complaint. As a result PIN's were enabled ....
    but now the number of service requests for 'forgotten password' have spiked.

    One solution would be to require users to enter their password on login, but allow a PIN to unlock the screen.

    Does anyone know if there is a method to achieve this?

    Paul

    Scheduler: workstation unlock


    I have this small thing that I want to do: When my laptop resumes sleep/hibernate I want to run a small script (.bat) that requires to be run as administrator.

    I have created a Task on Scheduler.
    • Under General tab I've been experimented with all the options.
    • On Triggers tab I've used "logon" and "startup" which have succeded but are useless to me; so the only active I have now is "workstation unlock".
    • Actions: start a program
    So, while my task is able to start on logon and startup why can't it start on workstation unlock?
