In macOS 10.14.6, our Jamf Pro Configuration Profile for Login Windows Settings is not enabling "Show password hints" in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options.

The option to "Show password hint when needed and available" is checked in the Login Widow payload. And as far as I can tell, we have no conflicting configurations or policies.

Is there a work-around or another way to enable the "Show password hint" option?

I can enable the Login Option to Show Password Hints by sending a command after sending the Login Window payload:

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow RetriesUntilHint -int 3

But why would I need to do this when the option was already enabled in the Login Window payload?
