Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand the concern as you are getting two user account on your login screen. Basically, this happens when "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer"
is disabled in the original user.

In order to remove the duplicate user account please form these steps.

1. Login to the original user account.
   
2. Press Windows +R key to open
   Run command.
   
3. Type netplwiz and click OK.
   
4. Now select the User Account from the list.
   
5. Check the box beside “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer”.
   
6. Click on Apply and follow the onscreen steps.

Now regarding the second issue, where you would like to remove the PIN sign in option and want to use the password. Please perform these steps.

1. Press Windows + I key to open
   Settings.
   
2. Click on Accounts and select
   Sign-in options from the left pane.
   
3. Click on Windows Hello PIN and select Remove.

Sign-in option with PIN (Windows Hello)

Hi Sergei__________1,

I'm Amr, an independent advisor.

If you use a Microsoft account to access Windows 11, the button to remove the PIN could appear greyed out.

The remove button could be greyed out if the passwordless option is enabled on the Windows 11 account or if the passwordless account is enabled on your Microsoft account.

Disable Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts

Use these steps:

Open Settings.

Click on Accounts.

Click the Sign-option tab.

Under the “Additional settings” section, turn off the “For improved security, only allow Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft account on this device” toggle switch.

You may need to restart the Settings app and the computer to apply the changes and enable the option to remove the PIN.

Disable passwordless Microsoft account

Kindly follow these steps:

Open Settings.

Click on Accounts.

Click the Your info tab.

Under the “Related settings” section, click the Accounts option.

Click the Security tab.

Click on Advanced security options.

Under the “Additional security” section, turn off the Passwordless account option.

Continue with the on-screen directions.

Restart your computer.

After you complete the steps, the “PIN (Windows Hello)” setting will show the remove button on Windows 11.

I hope this is helpful. If you require any additional assistance, don't hesitate to respond to this.

Best Regard

Amr
