Windows 10: Switch from password to pin sign in.

I cant seem to get my Windows 10 computer to allow me to use a pin. Ive followed the instructions to add a pin but it still requires a password.

I actually had a pin access until I reset my computer. Now it wont let me do it. I deleted my old pin and added a new one but still no luck.

Help!

Remove sign in pin

Hi Joel,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

I suggest you to follow the below steps to remove the sign in pin/password options.

• In the search box type sign-in-option.
• Click on the sign-in-option.
• Then you can find password/pin/picture password.
• There you can remove the option and check.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

Sign-in screen switches from PIN to Password after reboot

Although I chose to sign into Windows 10 using a PIN, after the laptop is rebooted for any reason, the sign-in screen always switches back to requiring a password. In addition, the sign-in options that allow for switching between Password and PIN that
should appear below the box where the password or PIN is entered, usually doesn't appear at all. Since they sometimes return randomly after rebooting again, I have to wait for that to happen in order to switch back to signing in with a PIN. Does anyone know
why this is happening or know a fix for it?
