Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand the concern as you are getting two user account on your login screen. Basically, this happens when "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer"
is disabled in the original user.

In order to remove the duplicate user account please form these steps.

1. Login to the original user account.
   
2. Press Windows +R key to open
   Run command.
   
3. Type netplwiz and click OK.
   
4. Now select the User Account from the list.
   
5. Check the box beside “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer”.
   
6. Click on Apply and follow the onscreen steps.

Now regarding the second issue, where you would like to remove the PIN sign in option and want to use the password. Please perform these steps.

1. Press Windows + I key to open
   Settings.
   
2. Click on Accounts and select
   Sign-in options from the left pane.
   
3. Click on Windows Hello PIN and select Remove.
