To configure Passport for domain users, use the policies under Computer configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Microsoft Passport for Work.
If you enable this policy setting, a domain user can set up and sign in with a convenience PIN.
If you disable or dont configure this policy setting, a domain user cant set up and use a convenience PIN.
Note: that the users domain password will be cached in the system vault when using this feature.
