Windows 10: How do I disable Windows Hello for logging into websites

Windows 11 Home forced me to set up a pin for Windows Hello. Now when I want to log into my account on any website, it forces me to input that pin. I'm not talking about logging into my computer with a pin - that I want to keep the same as it has always been. Settings - Accounts - Sign-in Options - yes, I have a PIN set up because that's how I want to log into my computer. Additional Settings - 'For improved security only allow Windows Hello etc is turned off. HOW do I disable this annoying, unwanted feature? I have no idea why Microsoft makes things so difficult and convoluted!

Disable Spacebar to Sign In with Windows Hello

Hi Paulo

Thanks for helping out here with this issue.
I did try the steps listed on the site you suggested. No luck, unfortunately.

The Logitech Brio can log in w Windwos Hello. But, the spacebar is still an issue. The built-in camera has the below issue FYI

Note: UPDATE troubleshooting

I have tried to isolate the issue and just use the built-in HP camera. Now I get "Couldn't turn on camera. Please sign-in with your PIN"

I have also tried ALL of these steps as well. And Biometrics is enabled on the device and allows users to log-in using Biomtrics

Fix- Windows Hello couldn’t turn camera ON problem in Windows 10 / 11 (thegeekpage.com)

I'm wondering if we can fix the missing camera issue if that would fix the first issue with the spacebar. Just a thought

• Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Biometrics
• Disable "Allow users to log on using biometrics" (or "Allow the use of biometrics")
