Why is Azure AD requiring the use of Windows Hello?

I bought a new Windows 10 PC and while setting it up I chose to "setup for Work" or something like that. I signed into my Office 365 account during Windows 10 setup. Now when I go to use the computer it keeps telling me "Your organization requires Windows

use of Windows Hello? How do I turn this off!!!!
