Interesting...
A PIN auth step eliminates the convenience value proposition of a TPM.
Selling passwordless authentication as a solution requiring a PIN just isn't recognizing that the PIN is now the password.
- mathisdiego 3y agoI think that's a bit of an overstatement. You already enter a password to sign in (or not, if you use biometrics). This is just another password that you enter once at boot. Doesn't seem all that bad of a tradeoff for data security.
- briHass 3y agoYou're forgetting the other convenience value of the TPM in Windows, which is that it allows you to use a PIN/bio instead of your (hopefully) long and complex account password.
