```You are reviewing a Windows 10 compliance policy in Microsoft Intune. A user with a device running Windows 10 version 20H2 (build 19042.985) reports that the device is marked as non-compliant. The device has a password of length 8, a PIN with 4 characters, Secure Boot enabled, BitLocker enabled, and Windows Defender Firewall active. What is the most likely reason for non-compliance?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers assume a PIN is separate from a password and not subject to the same minimum length requirement, but Intune's compliance policy treats both under the same 'password length' rule.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The device uses a PIN with only 4 characters, which does not meet the minimum password length of 6.
The device uses a PIN with only 4 characters, which does not meet the minimum password length of 6. In Intune compliance policies for Windows 10, the 'Minimum password length' setting applies to both passwords and PINs. A PIN of 4 characters violates this requirement, causing non-compliance even if other settings like BitLocker and Secure Boot are properly configured.
