Windows 10: Windows 11 How do I remove 'sign in with pin' screen when logging on PC?

Having logged in to my Lenovo laptop, the screen requesting pin number appears. Have tried to remove this option as it is unnecessary. I scrolled to the Acccount, sign in options in settings, but the 'remove' option is greyed out, and unable to proceed. Have also tried other options, but not able to get anywhere.Can anyone offer further advice?Thank you

Sign-in taking time after setting up PIN

Hello Harold,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that it is frustrating when the features don’t work the way there are supposed to. Usually, it takes time to login using the PIN after setting it up for the first time, as Windows optimizes and connects all the applications
linked to your Microsoft account to give access using the PIN.



I suggest you to try logging in again and wait for some time to let Windows optimize the PIN for next use.



However, if you want to remove the PIN you can follow the steps mentioned below.

1. Login to the PC using password, and go to
   Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options.
   
2. Under PIN click on
   Remove.
   
3. Enter the password and click on
   OK.
   
4. Restart the PC.
   

Hope it helps.
