  1. Windows hello pin help


    I tried to sign into the Xbox app and it said their was a problem with my pin go reset it. I go to sign in options and hello pin and I don’t even have one. I press add and it asks for my password and when I hit on ok nothing happened, no pin prompt screen.

    Last week I did have a pin but something stopped working so on my boot up screen I selected the option to go back to my windows save 4 hours before that and my pin disappeared.

    I’m not sure what to do, my apps think I have my old pin which isn’t even set anymore and hello pin won’t bring up the make a pin prompt screen after I type in my password.

    Any help is appreciated

    In the meantime, we suggest that you follow the steps below on how to set up PIN.

    • Open Settings.
    • Select Accounts.
    • Click Sign-in options.
    • Click the Add button for the PIN and set your PIN.

    Looking forward to your response.

    Windows hello pin help

    Unable to setup Windows Hello, error: incorrect pin

    Hello,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    May I know the complete error code or error message that you are receiving when you try to setup Windows Hello?

    Do you have any other user account on the computer?

    If yes, does Windows Hello work on that account?

    If Windows Hello is not setup on other account, please setup it up and check if it works so that we can narrow down the issue for you.

    I suggest to remove the pin and setup a new pin on the child account and check if it works with Windows Hello.

    Please follow the steps below to remove and re-add the PIN:

    • Press Windows logo key + I to open Settings.
    • Select Accounts.
    • Click on Sign-in options.
    • Under PIN, remove the pin. There will be prompt to enter password, enter the password and removed the PIN.
    • After the pin is removed, please click on
      Add to setup pin for the account.
    • After setting up a new PIN, try to set up Windows Hello.


    Hope it helps.

    Regards,

    Noor Azam S
