    Login with PIN and Hello

    Hi Jean,

    Windows 10 includes multiple options to sign-in to your account, including the ability to sign-in using a PIN and Windows Hello, which uses facial recognition. For us to provide a solution suited to your concern, we need additional information. Can
    you answer the questions below?

    • How are you setting the PIN and Hello?
    • Which build version of Windows is your PC running on?
    • Were there any error codes or messages?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you follow the steps below on how to set up PIN.

    • Open Settings.
    • Select Accounts.
    • Click Sign-in options.
    • Click the Add button for the PIN and set your PIN.
    • Do the same for the Windows Hello.

    Looking forward to your response.

  3. Unable to create Hello PIN - Stuck in login loop

    Hello!

    I recently purchased a Langmuir CNC machine system and one of the steps is to log into a Microsoft account to access the application. As per the instructions included, I created a Microsoft account. After creating a login, it asks me to create a “Hello PIN” in the pop-up window. When hitting next, it tells me that something went wrong.

    “ we weren’t able to set up your pin. You can try again, or skip this step and set up a pin later.”

    What attempting to skip for now it just takes me back and asked me to login again. The device I am trying to set up as a CNC plasma cutter that requires a login. The screen that it comes with does not allow me to do any command searches esc that previous forms have suggested. I’ve also attempted to login separately from my computer and see if I can set up my pin there. I see no option under security>advanced options> add login option to add hello pin option.

    Can you please assist as I’m unable to use my CNC machine without setting up my windows account.

    Thank you!

    Windows Hello PIN Something went wrong. we weren't able to set up your pin.

    Surface book2; I got this message "Windows Hello PIN Something went wrong. we weren't able to set up your pin. You can try again, or skip this step and set up PIN later" since 2 years ago until now. I looked through all the suggested like NGC file, DISM command, gpedit.msc, and more. I really don't want to reinstall everything because it will cause more problem and time.

    please fix this problem.

    thank you
