Windows 10: How do I disable Windows Security feature requiring a PIN when Chrome autofills passwords?

I know this quesioned has been asked before but none of the solutions are working for me. My "Windows Hello" is already disabled both in Chrome and my computer, tried to turn it on to then turn it off again but says my organization "does not allow for that"; but my computer is a personal one. I never received it from a business or organisation, I am the admin. Next thing I tried was to remove the school emails that I was logged into, but still no luck. I find it bother some to use a PIN and would prefer a password. Any help would be appreciated, thank you in advance.

How do I disable Windows Security feature requiring a PIN when Chrome autofills passwords?

Hi Mike,

I understand that you're having trouble with a Windows Security feature requiring a PIN when Chrome autofills passwords.

However, I would like to let you know that this feature is actually by design. If you have set up a password, Chrome Password Manager would always ask for the user account password for security reasons.

It's also worth noting that the screenshot you've shared may reveal some of your personal information to the public, so I would advise you to edit or delete it.

I hope this information helps. Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Best regards,

Recently, I had a pop-up on my laptop running Windows 11. It asked if I wanted Windows Security to require my PIN whenever Chrome tries to autofill my user id and passwords. I chose yes to see how it would work. After a few days, I decided I no longer wanted to have this extra layer of security.

I tried disabling it through Windows Security settings, but it's not an option. I've attached a screenshot.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

 

Disable PIN Requirement for Chrome Saved Passwords

Hello,

I would like to disable the requirement to have to enter my PIN to view saved passwords on Chrome. This is my home desktop so I do not need this security feature. Is there any way to turn the feature off?

Thanks!
