  1. Message on laptop where I normally enter pin


    I usually go into my laptop by using my pin. I got message to log in to Windows, then a message that asked for last 4 digits of my phone to send me a code. I did and got in fine but why is Microsoft this? I really do not like them knowing my cell phone number.

    :)

    Can't enter PIN for Headset

    I'm grateful for your replies. I obviously haven't done a good job of explaining. Here are snips of the windows involved. I have done all the steps suggested, but I can't directly enter the PIN in the larger window. That seems to be my only problem. Plantronics hasn't answered yet, but I'll hope they come through.

  3. Required to type 'A1B2C3' before entering PIN

    As of a week ago, I have been receiving the error message, "You've entered an incorrect PIN serveral times. To try again enter A1B2C3 below." The problem with that is that I have never entered my PIN incorrectly and am the only one that utilizes my desktop. I have ran malware/virus scans and have turned up zero discrepancies. Additionally, I reinstalled Windows 10 (and activated) a month ago after upgrading my motherboard, processor, and memory. So why is it asking me to enter in this letter/number combination EVERY time despite never having entered in my PIN incorrectly? This is rather annoying and essentially a two-step authentication factor, of sorts, that I did not ask for. Is anyone else experiencing this?

    How to log in using PIN without pressing ENTER?

    Hi Balázs,

    There several reasons that may cause the issue. We suggest you check the setting on your computer by following these steps to help us in resolving the issue:

    • From the Start menu, click Settings or the gear icon.
    • Go to Account settings.
    • Click the Sign-in options.
    • Make sure that Password option is disabled or removed for you to use only the PIN without you hitting the Enter key.

    Let us know if this helps.
