Disable: 'Turn off picture password sign-in' This policy setting allows you to control whether a domain user can sign in using a picture password. If you enable this policy setting, a domain user can't set up or sign in with a picture password. If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, a domain user can set up and use a picture password. Note that the user's domain password will be cached in the system vault when using this feature. Counter Measure: Enable and configure this setting if picture passwords are not desired. Potential Impact: Users will need to log on with a different credential provider.
