    Keep PIN logon option as default every time


    Hello,

    Every time I use my laptop outside of my office I use the fingerprint scanner, which works just fine. However, this seems to change the default sign in type to fingerprint. When I dock the laptop and try to sign in, I have to change it manually back to PIN from the login screen. It's a small thing, but adds up over a while. I was hoping there was a way to set the default sign in option to 'pin' and keep it that way, even if I use another way occasionally.

    :)

    PIN logon screen as default not remembered?


    Hi there!

    After the Creators update on my Surface Pro 4, the default logon screen, which used to be PIN (with face recognition), isn't the default anymore. I now constantly have to click "sign-in options" and then "PIN". Windows 10 also doesn't remember it after a few reboots, and using the PIN login...

    Anyone any idea what to do? Thanks!

    Sign in options defaults


    On my 1703 build machine I have "Ctrl+Alt+Del" enabled at the logon screen. When the machine boots up I hit "Ctrl+Alt+Del" and I can see "Other User" where I can (by default) enter my username and password.

    Since I don't use my password to login (I use Hello) I always have to click "Sign in options" and then I am presented with 4 boxes to click to select the type of logon I want to do:

    1. Password
    2. PIN
    3. Microsoft account
    4. Face/Hello

    So I click Face and am logged on.

    What I would like to know is, can you set the Face (Hello) to be the default so that when I do a "Ctrl+Alt+Del" after booting up it automatically logs me in using the Face/Hello option?

    It's such a pain having to click through this each time the machine boots up. Funnily enough if you lock the machine it remembers the type of logon and uses Face/Hello to log me in automatically without me having to click anything.

    Are there any options to configure the logon type defaults? I know I can disable the "Ctrl+Alt+Del" screen but would like to avoid this.

    Thanks!

  4. Keep PIN logon option as default every time

    I have a PIN setup in Account Sign On Options, but logon only asks for password not PIN

    There is no option to allow logon with my PIN, even though it's setup properly under Accounts/Sign In Options in Settings. Only option in settings is to change my pin. Logon asks for password, and tells you it's wrong if you try using the pin. There
    are no options on the logon screen to switch to logging on by using pin instead of password.
