Windows 10: How to make UAC prompt me for my PIN instead of password

Hi all,

I was wondering how to make Windows UAC prompting me for my PIN be the default behavior, instead of prompting for my password?

I have just reinstalled Windows 10 on my laptop. I used to be able to do that. Now that I have reinstalled Windows 10 it prompts for my password and I always have to click a button that says "Show me other choices" to then being able to choose the PIN option and then type it.

I am using Windows 10 version 1607 and was using it then.

Thanks in advance.

How do I change the default administrator account for the UAC elevation password prompt?

I have set the "User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode" security policy in secpol.msc to "Prompt for credentials" for security purposes so that even when a user is logged in as an administrator
they must type their password instead of simply consenting to the UAC prompt. The only problem is that when the built-in Administrator account is enabled the UAC elevation prompt ALWAYS defaults to that account instead of the currently logged in local administrator
account, requiring the user to click "More choices" then their name before being able to use their own password to elevate. When performing repetitive administrative tasks this quickly becomes very annoying. It was my understanding the UAC prompt should remember
the last user account used, however that does not seem to be the case. How can I make the UAC elevation prompt default to the currently logged in administrator instead of the built-in administrator account?

 

Remove PIN requirement on system startup

How do I get rid of the PIN that I just installed on /windows 10? I am not the only person using my computer. I was surprised that when using the PIN instead of a password my email is automatically on display. The PIN instead of a password is for people
who do not share a computer. Help me get back the old password way.

 

Well,

I found out that when you sign in with Microsoft Account it asks for a PIN, and after you've got that set up, UAC prompts, as default, for a PIN instead of the user password.
