Windows 10: Pin number

Hi folks,

Please, can anyone tell me if it is possible to do away with the need to enter a pin number each time I go to my pc. Many thanks.

Pin number

Hi Grace,

There is a possibility that the PIN file is corrupted or certain changes like recent upgrade/updates have affected the PIN's functionality. In order for us to provide the appropriate solution to your concern, we would like to ask for more details. Please
answer the following:

• What build and version of Windows 10 are you using?
• Have you made any recent changes to the sign-in options or installed updates prior to the issue?
• Are you getting an error message after attempting to create a new PIN number?

We will wait for your response.

 

Pin Number

Do not try to change.

First delete the PIN in Settings, Accounts. Reboot the computer, login, go Settings, Accounts and add a PIN.

Reboot and see if it works.

And there is no such thing as a PIN number *Smile

 

Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options > PIN , Create a PIN to use in place of passwords. Mine is a 4 digit number?

 

*Smile Personal Identification Number or PIN

 

I'm afraid there is. When I did the clean install I was given the option to use a password or a pin number and so for ease I chose the pin number option. I would have been happier if I was also given the option to have neither but that didn't happen.

Thanks for the replies folks.

 

No, there is no such thing as a PIN number anywhere, nothing to do with Windows.

 

What nigelmercier is trying to say is that PIN number is redundant. Personal Identification Number number.

 

Yeah, basically he's nitpicking saying it doesn't exist.

 

Just one of the many things that annoy me, and leads me to make assumptions about the person saying it.

Others include:

Different ... to
Wrong use of there, their, they're

 

In other words, you would rather make assumptions about people and correct their grammar than post something helpful.
