    How do I make my laptop prompt me to sign in with a PIN after it is woken up from the...


    When I turn my laptop on the "sleep" option on the windows start menu, and then afterwards wake it up. Instead of going back to the lock screen, it straight up logs into the computer. This is a huge problem because people can just open up my laptop for it to be logged in, and just mess around with it without my permission. For the record, my laptop used to prompt me to sign in with a pin when it wakes from sleep. How do I change this so that way there is an extra layer of security on my laptop?

  2. 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.

    Pin on laptop

    This doesn't work. Still get no response when clicking on set up pin, nothing happens.

    Have another problem after doing your fix. Now I can't stay signed into Microsoft community. I have to sign in each and every time I open it.

    This problem has not been resolved and I have tried every suggestion that has been offered. I have even tried system restore to no avail. Thank both of you for your suggestions.

    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.
