When you enable Windows Hello make sure to set the pin as something that you can remember over time, or save it to a password management tool of your choice.
Windows Hello will require setting up either the fingerprint reader if available, or it will use a facial scan. You must enable one of these options for Okta fastpass to work without entering your password every time. If you choose to not enable one of those options we can assign PC users a YubiKey for authentication.
