Is it possible to use PIN Confirmation WITHOUT account linking?

Hello Alexa people! Could you please help me to understand how it works?

From the documentation, it looks like it's possible to have PIN confirmation without account linking ((Recommended but not required) Your skill supports account linking.) But when I set up permissions for "Skill Personalization" and "PIN Confirmation Optional", create proper voice profile with Voice PIN there (when I ask "Alexa, who is talking?" it replies with my voice profile name), I receive

"status": {
    "code": "200",
    "message": "Okay"
},
"result": {
    "version": "2",
    "status": "NOT_ENABLED"
}


NOT_ENABLED supposes to mean that user didn't enable PIN confirmation for the skill.

But when I look at the skill in my up-to-date Alexa app (Client Version 1.24.208239.0, App Version 2.2.415290.0), I do not see any toggle to enable PIN confirmation there - like in the pic in the blog post.

Could you please tell me what am I missing implementing PIN confirmation for the skill without account linking?

Thank you!

Hello there,

Although the documentation is publicly available, the feature requires developers to apply for the preview to use it. Since it's not available to everyone by default, those who don't have access will see a different view than what is shown in that blog post.
