Login to Chromebook fails with "Device Security not met"

Last updated: April 3, 2026

Applicable to:

  • Twingate Component: Client
  • Google Chromebook (all models)
  • Chrome OS (all versions)

Overview

When adding Biometric configuration as a criteria in Device Security Posture Checks for Chromebooks, these posture checks will fail with a message "Device Security not met".

Cause

This behavior is due to a limitation in the ChromeOS APIs related to biometric reporting. As a result, Twingate is currently unable to reliably validate biometrics configuration on ChromeOS devices.

There is no supported workaround available to use the biometric configuration device posture check for ChromeOS.
