    User Password/PIN


    Hi. After I installed Build 10162, I do not have the option of a PIN at logon, just my long MS password. When I go to Users account control, it just gives me the option to CHANGE PIN, not to CREATE one. But yet when I log on, there is no option for a pin, only a password. What am I doing wrong? Where or how can I fix this? Thanks for helping solve this.

    :)

    can set-up PINs, but they never appear as sign-in options on Windows 10

    I can go to Settings.Accounts.SigninOptions and set up PINs for all the users on the system, but I am never given a PIN sign-in option at the Windows Logon screen for any user.

    I have Windows 10 installed on other computers, and this problem does not occur.

    I know that sign-in options generally can appear, because one user with a password, PIN and Picture Password is able to select sign-in options between password and Picture Password.

    I do use Softex Omnipass with a fingerprint scanner, but not everyone can register a finger reliably. So, I want those folks to be able to enter PINs.

    Any ideas why the PIN can be set for each user, but no user gets that as a sign-in option?

    Thanks, Kari. The problem is that I get an error message in red 'Something went wrong. Try again later'. I tried that a few times.

    Are you using an MS account or a local account?

    That was it, Kari. I had not noticed that it needed to be verified because I could log in with it. But my PIN works now!
    Thank you again.
