The better question will be, since authentication is required to complete it, does this mean that devices that don't have any security or lock pin are not going to be allowed to use unsigned applications?

    It's too early to say but I think it's fairly obvious that it's just a mechanism to confirm that the owner of the device is the one making the change. If no biometrics are set, and no lock screen is set, I'd assume the check isn't needed.
