Windows 10: Windows Security Prompts Defaulting To Password Instead of PIN All The Time How Do I...

I have Windows Hello PIN set up, in addition to my password. No Microsoft account connected/signed-in to my local profile. My PIN is how I currently log into my local profile from the Windows login screen, every day.Once logged in and working from within my profile, whenever I am prompted for something that runs through a Windows Security prompt Google Chrome password auto-fill for example, I am prompted for my password. I have to choose "More choices" every single time, then select PIN. This seems laborious. Am I missing something? Any GPO/regedits that can fix this?

How to make UAC prompt me for my PIN instead of password

Well,

I found out that when you sign in with Microsoft Account it asks for a PIN, and after you've got that set up, UAC prompts, as default, for a PIN instead of the user password.

 

How to make UAC prompt me for my PIN instead of password

Hi all,

I was wondering how to make Windows UAC prompting me for my PIN be the default behavior, instead of prompting for my password?

I have just reinstalled Windows 10 on my laptop. I used to be able to do that. Now that I have reinstalled Windows 10 it prompts for my password and I always have to click a button that says "Show me other choices" to then being able to choose the PIN option and then type it.

I am using Windows 10 version 1607 and was using it then.

Thanks in advance.

 

Set Default Login Method to Password instead of PIN

When I try to log into my laptop, I've always used my password. After I installed a recent update, sometimes I am asked for my PIN instead. This is absolutely not what I want, and I only added a pin because Office 365 suddenly demanded one. I know my PIN, but my hands automatically enter my password every time, and every time Microsoft tricks me makes my day worse. Is there a way to set the default login to password instead of PIN?
