Windows 10: Cant use my fingerprint or pin to sign into my laptop

For some reason, suddenly everytime I open my laptop, it promps me to sign into my outlook account to unlock the computer. Before I would enter my pin or scan my fingerprint. I have tried resetting the computer. Why would I suddenly need to sign into my email to get into my computer every time?

I don't think you can , the PIN is a backup in-case the fingerprint fails.

 

Enable Fingerprint Sign In Without PIN Sign In (Windows Hello)


So I just reinstalled Windows 10 on my machine.

Before I had it set up so that I could log in with a password or fingerprint.

Now it seems my only options are (1) password only OR (2) password, PIN or fingerprint.

I don't want PIN as a sign in option. But I have to enable PIN via "Windows Hello" before enabling Fingerprint sign in.

And once I have fingerprint sign in enabled, if I remove the PIN I lose both PIN and fingerprint sign in options.

Any ideas how I can set up password and fingerprint as my only two sign in options?
