Windows 10: Not letting me sign in with PIN and not sending an email

I tried booting up my computer and instead of it asking for my PIN to sign in, it just has a button that says “sign in.” I tried clicking on it and it is saying it sent a code to my email, but I am not getting one. I have tried restarting my computer and updating it with no luck. It was letting me log in with my PIN just yesterday, so I do not know what changed.

Hello,
Alex.

The Outgoing SMTP mail server port number depends on the your email service provider. We recommend that you contact your service provider and request for the incoming and outgoing mail server settings.

Remove the account that you're having issues sending messages, and add the account to your phone using the steps below.

Presuming that you have removed the email account you're having issues sending messages:

• Launch the Outlook Mail app.
• Tap Add account.
• Tap Advanced setup.
• Tap Internet email.
• Enter your email account credentials.
• Tap the Sign in button.

Let us know what happens after adding your email using the suggested steps.
