Passport for BYOD
Passport can be managed on personal devices that your employees use for work purposes using MDM. On personal devices, users can create a personal Passport PIN for unlocking the device and a separate work PIN for access to work resources. The work PIN is managed using the same Passport policies that you can use to manage Passport on organization owned devices. The personal PIN is managed separately using DeviceLock policy. DeviceLock policy can be used to control length, complexity, history, and expiration requirements and can be configured using the Policy configuration service provider.
