This feature is supported on Android, iOS and macOS devices.

By default, device users must enter a password to register a device. You have the option to require an Ivanti EPMM-generated Registration PIN in place of or in addition to the password.

**Procedure**

1. In Admin Portal, go to Settings > System Settings > Users & Devices > Registration.
2. Select a Registration PIN code Length, which is the minimum length for the PIN (6-12 characters).
3. Select Save.

For iOS and macOS registration authentication, see [Registering iOS and macOS devices through the web](docId\:MuK6Pv5znlqmWb6CCTMmu)

## Limit for failed attempts to enter a registration password

After the sixth failed attempt to enter a registration password, Ivanti EPMM locks the device user’s account for 30 seconds. The device user sees a message stating that the account is locked and will be released after the specified interval.
