Q: No option to use iCloud password logging into my Mac?

Folks,

 

I recently used TimeMachine to restore my old 2011 MacBook Pro setup to my new 2015 12" MacBook.

 

On the old machine, I used to just use my iCloud password to login to my machine. On the new MacBook, it asked me to set up a machine-based user password in the setup. I went into System Preferences -> Users and Groups section, to try to select to use the iCloud password to login, but the option is not available. It should be there, no?

 

Anyone know whats up?
