RDP to home PC with Windows Hello PIN
I have a Windows machine at home that is using my Microsoft account, and I login using PIN. How do I RDP to that machine?
In the RDP client, there is no option to sign in using PIN, only password. When I tried to use my MS account + password, it says "The logon attempt failed".
I know I can disable the option "Require Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts", and just remove the Hello PIN altogether, but I would like to sign in using PIN when I'm using the machine, but at the same time allow me to RDP using either PIN, or username+password.
How do I:
- Set the RDP client to sign in using PIN?
- Or... how do I enable the Windows machine to enable login with both PIN and username+password?
This is all at home settings, no AD, no domain-joined, both the host (Windows 10 Professional) and client (Mac) is at home in the same network.
Solution 1:
Might be late to the party, but I found this post because I was having the same issue. Same environment and same machines
What I did was go to Settings -> Remote Desktop
Under the User Accounts header, select Select users that can remotely access this PC
In the popup, click Add and then click Advanced and finally click Find Now
Scroll through the list until you find your name and email address that are in the folder for what your PC is named (Farid-PC, Desktop-W7283 or something similar)
Select the user, and then click OK on all the open windows.
You should now be able to RDP to the machine using your Live email address and password
