    constantly asks me to confirm my identity by entering pin number


    Windows is constantly asking me to confirm my identity (microsoft account) by entering the pin number I have already entered when I logged on to my pc. It only started recently so what the hell is with that? Have a second pc on which this never happens?

    Can't enter PIN for Headset

    Bluetooth Plantronics PR BT5028. Windows V 1903. Windows recognizes the headset when I try to add it, but then puts up a window suggesting a six-digit number and asking if that number matches the headset PIN.
    Plantronics has publicly posted the fact that the PIN is "0000" but....there is no way I can find to enter 0000. When Windows decides that the numbers don't match the pairing fails and another six-digit number is offered.
    Has anyone encountered this before? How can I enter the known pin?

    Pin number


    Well, when you first want to create a PIN for your account, Microsoft sends you a verification numeric code to confirm your identity with. So wouldn't that code be considered a PIN number .... a number required to establish your PIN with? So, in that case, there IS a PIN number in Windows! *Wink

  4. constantly asks me to confirm my identity by entering pin number

    Constantly prompted to enter pin number when using Government ID and CAC reader.

    Hello all. When accessing certain government websites, which require CAC access, I am constantly prompted to enter my pin number. Sometimes it will ask once and sometimes it will ask several times in a row. This happens on some websites but not all
    and it happens the entire time I am navigating the website.
