Windows 10: Windows 11 keeps on asking me to set up a pin even when I already created a pin and it is...

1. Yes I do already have a Pin set up but it keeps telling me to create a PIN2. I restarted and clicked set up pin multiple times and it's glitched out, it still shows that I need to set up a Pin3. I uninstalled Windows Hello and then reinstalled it and rebooted the PC and the issue still persists

Can't create pin for login. Pin stopped working

Hi Kevin,

To resolve your concern about creating pin to your computer, we suggest that you follow these steps:

• Navigate to C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC (click to get permission when prompted).
• Delete the contents of that folder (delete everything in that folder, but leave that folder and everything above it).
• Go back to settings, accounts, sign in options.
• Your non-working pin will now be gone, and you can just click 'add a pin' and set it again.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Stop asking me to create a PIN!

Solved!!!!

After making the changes in Group Policy, it still didn't work and it still asked me to create a pin. I almost gave up, then I stumbled on the solution:

Change your user account from a "Microsoft account" to a "Local Account" . (Setting > Account > Your info > "Sign in with a local account instead"). I don't know if this work in combination with the Group Policy setting or not, but I do know that, for me,
the GP setting alone didn't do it.

(MS really wants you to log in with a Microsoft account instead of a local account. During the initial setup of a new computer, it is really easy to miss the step to create a local account and instead you are "convinced" to create a MS account. This is
exactly what happened to me. This is a new PC for me in 3 years and in the past, I have never seen this PIN and MS account things.)

History:

The reason I don't want to use the PIN is that using the PIN, my other networked computers cannot access this new PC.. When researching this problem, I saw that using the PIN is the problem. So I changed the logon to password. But ever since the change,
it kept asking me to create a PIN. I researched for a solution and did the changes in Group Policy as suggested here, but it didn't work. Then I remember seeing something about Local Account in dealing with the network problem. That's what gave me the idea
and it worked.

Hope it will work for you too.

Cheers.

 

Windows 10 Settings, Adding a pin not working.

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

Instead of entering a password, you can sign in quickly with a four-digit PIN. I suggest you to follow the steps below to create a PIN to make sure that you're following the right way :

• Go to Start , and select Settings > Accounts >
  Sign-in options.
• Under PIN, select Add.
• If you don't have a password on your account, you'll need to create a password before you can create a PIN.
• Confirm your current password, and then you can create a PIN.
• Now you can sign in using your four-digit PIN.

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