I assume that that is all handled by the SfB specific firmware?
Yes.
You can log in a SfB/Teams Yealink phone with the username and pin or username and password.

Okay, that's a cool feature. Kudos to them for making that easy.

You don’t need to worry about that with SfB. The user logs in and it puts their stuff on it.
I know about this bit as I have already tried it out on one handset. Saying that our users are not the office type and hardly know how to use a computer and some handsets are purely for making phone calls only. Current solution they don't even need to know anything. Just plug the phone in give it a couple of minutes and dial away without having to even log in.
The bit I was looking for is after loggin in how does one even mass change config of the yealink spread throughout many sites! This is my number one question. You guys already answer that question.

MY experience so far. I have managed to get the phone (with S4B firmware) logged in using the web sign in with pin thing. But I had to log in to the handset via IP then initiate the whole process. Not very automated.
Another annoyance is the handset seems to go into sleep mode after which you have to enter pin to get back in to it. I have not been able to find out how to disable it yet. Users remembering pin to the phone which they could previously just pickup and dial. That'll go well! Once again they seem to be designed for office workers who are very UC (Unifi comms) savvy.

BTW 99% of our users don't even know their login / passwords (that is not a conversation for this thread or will it ever change). Things get all pre-setup and they just use it.

And sadly, with the Skype firmware, the options that you can even change globally are tiny.

Not a good combination of production selection and end user expectations

Yeah, once you have to do that, a username and password is almost everything that you need to set up SIP normally!
