Windows 10: I cannot access my passwords in Chrome because Windows is suddenly requiring a PIN that I...

All of a sudden, Windows Security is asking for a pin that I never setup to view my saved passwords in Chrome.When I hit 'forgot my pin' it directs me to the accounts sign-in options.Windows Hello is disabled here, and even if I want to enable it, it asks for that same non-existent pin.So what am I supposed to do? This is the dumbest feature I've seen in a while. How did it turn itself on to require a pin, and how am I supposed to do anything if I don't have and can't set up a pin?This is on Windows 11 Home.

Password suddenly required to start computer

I have been using Windows 10 for over a year (OS build 14393.693) and never set up a password since the computer is in my home and I'm the only user. Suddenly, two days ago, I'm required to have a password to log on. I was able to get in using my Microsoft
account login. I've read the various suggestions from one or two years ago, such as typing "netplwiz" and unchecking the "users must enter..." box. This did not solve the problem. I do
not want to use a password or PIN. I tried a system restore, but it failed. Here are my questions:

1. Was there a recent Microsoft update that has suddenly required this login?

2. How can I revert back to not needing a password or PIN to open my computer?

3. If I have to log in with a Microsoft account password, does that mean Microsoft has access to my computer?

Thanks.

 

Disable PIN Requirement for Chrome Saved Passwords

Hello,

I would like to disable the requirement to have to enter my PIN to view saved passwords on Chrome. This is my home desktop so I do not need this security feature. Is there any way to turn the feature off?

Thanks!
