Device Password Missing¶

A device password is a security feature implemented on both Windows and macOS devices to enhance the protection of data and sensitive information stored on the device. Enforcing a device password ensures that unauthorized users cannot gain easy access to a device.

1. From the Device Posture tab, select + ADD:

   

2. Select Add to Windows or Add to macOS.
