Windows 10: Windows Hello is limiting my sign-in options; i cant even change my fingerprints

Hello all,


The laptop is mine but the above seems to indicate that the laptop belongs to an organisation which is controlling my sign-in options. I am very frustrated with this because I want to change the way i sign-in but i can't.


Is there a way to disable Windows Hello or at least to give me back the full options please?


Thank you

:)

I don't think you can , the PIN is a backup in-case the fingerprint fails.

 

Enable Fingerprint Sign In Without PIN Sign In (Windows Hello)


So I just reinstalled Windows 10 on my machine.

Before I had it set up so that I could log in with a password or fingerprint.

Now it seems my only options are (1) password only OR (2) password, PIN or fingerprint.

I don't want PIN as a sign in option. But I have to enable PIN via "Windows Hello" before enabling Fingerprint sign in.

And once I have fingerprint sign in enabled, if I remove the PIN I lose both PIN and fingerprint sign in options.

Any ideas how I can set up password and fingerprint as my only two sign in options?
