    cannot sign into Microsoft using windows pin


    Whenever I try to sign using an alternative pin, for instance, I get an error saying that they are having trouble signing me in.: This is so frustrating as I am usually prompted to sign in many times in one session. Using the shorter alternative obviously is the way to go but I am currently relegated to repeatedly signing in - over and over.This is the reason? :Request Id: cc2a19ac-fc00-4186-894c-4daba7ed3200 Correlation Id: 11f5570c-27a5-45aa-a84b-6eb987786be1 Timestamp: 2022-10-12T23:48:40Z Message: AADSTS500202: User account '*** Email address is removed for privacy ***' from external identity provider 'live.com' is n

    Remove sign in pin

    Hi Joel,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

    I suggest you to follow the below steps to remove the sign in pin/password options.

    • In the search box type sign-in-option.
    • Click on the sign-in-option.
    • Then you can find password/pin/picture password.
    • There you can remove the option and check.
    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

    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.
