    I can't login because it says PIN not available


    I went through the whole thing of logging in and having to try three freaking times to get a code texted to me, only to get to the part where it told me to come up with a new pin. I don't want a new pin. After clicking that I didn't want to reset my PIN, it let me in anyway. In the settings, there is no issue with the pin. I checked. It doesn't even acknowledge that anything is wrong. This happened on my last laptop too. If this is going to be a recurring problem, I don't want to have to change my **** PIN a million times.

    :)
