Windows 10: Turn off "Just Making Sure it's You"

Okay, I was just watching a video when all of the sudden, I got a pop up window from Windows Security, saying "Just Making Sure it's You" and required me to enter my PIN.


This has so far been the only time it's happened to me, but I'm already enraged. I ran a search on the internet for ways to turn it off. There are things like downloadable software and such, but it's ridiculous. We shouldn't have to download software to just turn off something in Windows Security.


Instead, Windows Security should have the option to turn it off already, BUT IT DOESN'T! I know I'm sounding unreasonable, but this should have been an option, and the fact they didn't put it in is just stupid! Did they not think this would annoy some people? It shows how incompetent they are.


Don't try to defend it, it's stupid, the whole thing is stupid and I demand a fix from the actual programmers of Microsoft and Windows Security to develop an update that will allow us to turn off this stupid thing permanently.


I apologize for the rant, but I want a solution for this, not download some unreliable crappy 3rd party software just to change one thing the Windows people should have implemented.
