Windows 10: How to remove PIN or Password from my Windows 10?

Hi,I have Windows 10 Pro and the moment I added my MS account to my Windows for the key to link to my account, it forced me to add a password to my login. To reduce the effort of typing out my MS account password every time, I enabled PIN login.But I'm the only one using this computer at home, and I really hate typing the PIN or password to login to my own computer. I searched for this issue on Google, and found some old threads or posts of info showing me ways to remove the PIN. But as soon as I remove the PIN, it reverts back to MS account password. I DO NOT WANT ANY KIND OF PIN OR PAS
