  2. Windows 10 Xbox App asking for PIN number I never set.

    Hi,

    If you signed in to Windows 10 using your Microsoft account, the Xbox app will take the credentials you've used to sign in. There's a possibility that the PIN code you're asked to enter is the PIN code of your Windows 10 user account. Let's remove the PIN
    code. Here are the steps:

    • Click Start and select Settings.
    • Select Accounts.
    • Select Sign-in options, under PIN, click
      Remove
      .
    • Confirm the changes by entering your profile password.
    Refer to
    Can I sign in to Windows without a password
    for the steps on how to change the sign-in options for your Windows 10 device.

    If the same instance occurs after removing the PIN code and changing your user account's sign-in options, we suggest that you sign in to
    Xbox.com. This is to verify if there's an issue with your Xbox account.

    Keep us posted with the results. We'd be glad to further assist you.

    Windows 10 PIN Sign-in

    Hi Pat,

    It is possible that the PIN set in an earlier build does not work after reinstalling Windows 10. To better assist you, we'd like clarify few things:

    • Which build and version of Windows 10 is installed on your computer?
    • Which build and version of Windows 10 are you using before reinstalling Windows?
    • Have you tried resetting your PIN?
    • Did you get any error messages after you verified the PIN you entered?

    Meanwhile, we suggest that you follow the steps in this
    article
    on how you can reset your PIN.

    Keep us posted if you need additional help.

    can not sign in on windows 11. computer asking for pin I did not set up

    Sign in asking for a PIN when I don't have one

    When I try sign to sign into Microsoft store, I login, put in my password, it then asks me to put in a PIN, although I have never set one up before.

    When I googled it, I found this

    "

    How do I find my Windows pin?

    To change your PIN in Windows 10, you may follow the steps below:

    1. Open Settings (keyboard shortcut: Windows + I) > Accounts > Sign-in options.
    2. Click the Change button under PIN.
    3. Enter your current PIN; then, enter and confirm the new PIN underneath.
    4. Tap I forgot my PIN.

      "
    When I go here it is for a different account, So this method does not work.

    Edit: when I click forgot my PIN it just tells me the exact same thing as above
