MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
You are configuring Windows Hello for Business in Microsoft Intune. Which THREE settings are required to enable Windows Hello for Business on Windows 10 devices?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often assume biometric authentication is required for Windows Hello for Business, but Microsoft explicitly allows PIN-only deployments, and the mandatory settings are enabling the feature and configuring PIN complexity (including minimum length).

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Set minimum PIN length to at least 4 digits.
Windows Hello for Business requires a minimum PIN length of at least 4 digits when configured via Intune's identity protection policy. This setting is mandatory to enforce a baseline level of security for the PIN-based authentication method, and Intune will not enable Windows Hello for Business without a defined minimum PIN length.
