Windows 10: Removing Windows Pin Sign-In

I use either my password, face id, or touch id to login to my Dell XPS13. Works fine mostly but every now and then it asks for my PIN. This annoys the heck out of me - I DO NOT KNOW MY PIN, and REFUSE TO MEMORIZE ONE in addition to my password.

I tried removing the PIN option but that broke face ID and touch id! I had to re-enable PIN to get face id working and still cant get touch id back - no supporting harware found!


Is there any way to get rid of/hide or make windows pin the last option after password when logging in without losing face and touch id?


As others have said, why is MS forcing users to have another potential vulnerability in their systems in the form of a login pin.


Thanks

:)
