I have PIN access for normal login enabled, but it's not related to the CRD PIN generated for remote login. When that is setup in CRD, it appears to be linked to a computer, not a userID as in the chrome login option.
If you get a chance to test out Remote desktopping into an unattended chromebook and have any success I'd be delighted. I'm not convinced I haven't overlooked something, but am running out of search words with which to feed google...

I understand the pin issue, I was merely highlighting how depending on which version of the OS you are on how the options change.
Historically many experimental options that were hidden in chrome://flags/ were later introduced as main channel settings options once stable.
From the Google Chromebook support link I posted last night I presume this is your issue?...https://support.google.com/chrome/answe ... ktop&hl=en
To use Chrome Remote Desktop on your Chromebook, learn how to share your computer with someone else.
Share your computer with someone else
You can give others remote access to your computer. They’ll have full access to your apps, files, emails, documents and history.
On your computer, open Chrome.
In the address bar at the top, type remotedesktop.google.com/support, and press Enter.
Under “Get Support, “ click Download Download.
Follow the onscreen directions to download and install Chrome Remote Desktop.
Under “Get Support,” select Generate Code.
Copy the code and send to the person you want to have access to your computer.
When that person enters your access code on the site, you will see a dialog with their e-mail address. Select Share to allow them full access to your computer.
To end a sharing session, click Stop Sharing.
The access code will only work one time. If you are sharing your computer, you will be asked to confirm that you want to continue to share your computer every 30 minutes.
Whether that one time/30 minute code issue can be bypassed with flags or not I don't know, that's the bit for investigation.
The Linux CRD option was also in that link...https://support.google.com/chrome/answe ... #linux-crd
Use Chrome Remote Desktop on Linux
Step 1: Download and set up Chrome Remote Desktop
Download the Chrome Remote Desktop app. Make sure you're using the most recent version of the app.
Step 2: Install the Debian package for the host components
Download the 64-bit Debian Package here.
Step 3: Create a virtual desktop session
If you have Ubuntu 12.04, skip to Step 4.
Look in /usr/share/xsessions/ for the .desktop file for your preferred desktop environment.
For example, Cinnamon has a file named "cinnamon.desktop" with the following command: gnome-session --session=cinnamon
Create a file called .chrome-remote-desktop-session in your home directory with the following content:
exec /usr/sbin/lightdm-session "<YOUR_EXEC_COMMAND>"
Replace <YOUR_EXEC_COMMAND> with the command at the end of your .desktop file:
In the example for Cinnamon, the correct command is exec /usr/sbin/lightdm-session 'gnome-session --session=cinnamon'
Unity desktops require some additional code. The full command is DESKTOP_SESSION=ubuntu XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/$(id -u) exec /usr/sbin/lightdm-session 'gnome-session --session=ubuntu'
Save the file called ".chrome-remote-desktop-session".
Step 4: Allow remote connections
On your computer, open Chrome.
In the address bar at the top, type chrome://apps, and press Enter.
Click Chrome Remote Desktop Chrome Remote Desktop App.
Under "My Computers," click Get started.
Click Enable remote connections.
Enter a PIN and re-type the PIN. Then click OK.
Dismiss the confirmation dialog.
