Windows 10: Windows 11 pin says "Organization requires pin change"

When I log into Windows 11 Home edition I use a pin. After a few weeks it will prompt me to change my pin and shows "Organization requires pin change". This is a personal computer and there is no organization, I do not want to have to change my pin every few weeks. I have seen solutions for Windows 10 for this problem but those do not work for me with Windows 11. How do I disable changing my pin every few weeks?

PIN change required by organization on Windows 10 Home

Recently Windows has required me to change my pin 3 times in the last 4 months. I had a PIN I liked forever and I used it. Then, I sign in and get a notification saying, "Your organization requires you to change your PIN to 6 digits." I did not want to do this, but I was forced too. Today it forced me to change my pin AGAIN! I have looked this question up and it comes up with solutions only for Windows 10 PRO or Enterprise. I am on Windows 10 Home so I do not have the group policy editor to change the PIN complexity requirements. I only have one account signed in that I use and it has admin privileges.. How do I make it so I can use a 4 digit long PIN that does not force me to change it on Windows 10 Home?

 

PIN Requirements

A month after updating to Windows 11, I got a notification stating that my organization requires I change my Pin code. This is a personal computer and no organization is involved. I don't want to have to change the Pin every month, but can't find where to change this requirememt. I also want to have a Pin number that is only 4 characters instead of 5. Where do I change these settings.

Thank you
