When you enroll your device for work or school use, you might need to adjust the lock screen and startup settings you use to unlock your device so that they align with your organization's password and biometric requirements. Password and biometric requirements are put in place to prevent unauthorized individuals from gaining access to the work or school data on your device. Until you choose a more secure authentication method for your device's lock screen, you might be blocked from accessing your organization's network.
