Windows 10: Windows Hello PIN - On local accounts

Hello Community,Windows Hello PIN has been used mainly on Microsoft accounts, but I've seen it to local accounts. It works the same, type in your PIN. You can also select password, but still the same.

• Click the Add button for the PIN and set your PIN.
• Do the same for the Windows Hello.

Looking forward to your response.

 

Windows Hello and Pin sign on

Hello Adam,

There are a number of reasons why you can’t set up Windows Hello and Pin at the same time. To isolate the issue, we would like you to answer the following questions:

• Are you trying to set up Windows Hello using a Microsoft or a Local account?
• Have you made any recent changes on your device?
• Are you getting any error messages?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

Looking forward to your response.

 

Local account installation question

I'm fairly certain that Skip this step was available in 10.0.130 - the workaround in Step 20 (back button) is no longer required.

The currently known, as of 10.0.130, ways to create a Local account sign-in are

• Skip this step at the MS account creation phase
• No Internet connection during the install
• static IP (post# 2 by Fragment) - New (to me anyway)
