    Windows Login Screen a pin number is automatically being typed over and over again


    I've just experienced a new issue:

    After my monitor/computer have gone to sleep - I click my mouse or keyboard to start up my computer and I see asterisks automatically appearing in my pin box for login - this happens over and over again. It states wrong pin number entered.


    I'm not typing anything.


    Then I see many zeros in the challenge question box, and then it asks to enter a special code because the pin number has been entered incorrectly too many times.


    Thoughts?

  2. Windows Hello & Pin Login NOT displaying on Login Screen

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Sorry for the delay in response.

    I appreciate your effort in trying to fix the issue with the missing features on login screen.

    1. Which security software is installed on your device?
    2. Is your device connected to domain network?

    Please try the below suggested steps and check if the required sign in options are available from login screen.

    Enable sign-in using PIN from group Policy editor

    1. Open Local Group Policy Editor. To do so, type gpedit.msc
      in the run command (Windows + R key).
    2. Navigate to Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon.
    3. In the right pane, double click on Turn on convenience PIN sign-in policy
      to edit it.
    4. Select Enabled option from Turn on convenience PIN sign-in window.
    5. Click on Apply, OK and close the window.
    6. Restart the device and check if the sign-in using PIN is available on the login screen.

    Enable sign into Windows 10 using Biometrics from Local Group Policy editor

    1. Open Local Group Policy Editor. To do so, type gpedit.msc
      in the run command (Windows + R key).
    2. Navigate to Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Biometrics.
    3. In the right pane of Biometrics, double click on Allow users to log on using biometrics.
    4. Select Enabled option from Allow users to log on using biometrics window.
    5. Click on Apply, OK and close the window.
    6. Restart the device and check if the sign in using Biometrics is available on the login screen.

    Hope it helps. Get back to us for further assistance on this issue. We will be happy to help you.

  3. OSK PIN login on non-touch device

    Hello,

    I suggest you to create a PIN for your device and try the on screen keyboard to login to the same.

    You may follow the steps below to create PIN protection for your device.


    • Go to Settings and select account.

    • Click on sign in option and Go to PIN option.

    • Now click on Add and set PIN for login.

    You can use the same PIN to login to your device using the on screen Keyboard from ease of access option and verify the result.

    Please get back to us with updated status. We will be happy to assist you further.
