    How to turn off password/pin/fingerprint at login?


    I've had this PC for a few months now after having a MacBook. On the MacBook, I could make it so I could completely bypass a login screen and never have to enter a password when the computer went to sleep or was closed. I can't turn this off on my PC. I've tried used the userpasswords2 command and the box that says "require a password to use this computer" is unchecked by it still requires it. I've gone to sign-in options in account user settings and the "require sign-in" option is greyed out with "Windows Hello is preventing some options from being shown". This really confuses me cause this computer doesn't have a camera compatible with Windows Hello anyway so why is that preventing me from turning off password/pin/fingerprint login?

    EDIT: now it's saying "we couldn't find a fingerprint scanner compatible with windows hello" all of a sudden even though up until today I used the fingerprint scanner every time I logged in

    Microsoft Account PIN and password

    We appreciate the screenshot that you provided. to start troubleshooting the issue with you logins, we suggest that you follow the steps below on how login pin goes back to password:

    • Click Start menu and go to Settings.
    • In Settings, click the Accounts icon.
    • Click on Sign-in options.
    • Change both your password and pin one by one.
    Let us know how it goes.

  3. Fingerprint and pin login not working

    After changing my email address on my Microsoft account, the old email address still appears on my Windows 10 sign in screen.

    However I find I am now unable to log in with my fingerprint or pin. I can only log in by typing the password. I get this error message:

    "You can't sign in to your device right now. Try the last password you used on this device."

    I attempted to change the account to a local account and when I do I get this error message:

    "We're sorry, but something went wrong. Your Microsoft account wasn't changed to a local account. Code 0x80004005"

    Any suggestions on how to get my Microsoft login to reflect my new email address and restore my ability to log in with fingerprint and pin?
