    "Your PIN is required to sign in" message on lockscreen


    My notebook recently got windows update this afternoon. I remember windows asked about sign in option and I still choose fingerprint or PIN option. But now when I try to unlock my lockscreen using fingerprint, its not working, instead the message "Your PIN is requires to sign in". I have search the similiar problem in windows support but the solution not working at me, because in my screen, only the message appear and there's not other option including bar to submit PIN.The solutions please. I'm still working and have deadline tonight. Thank you

    :)

    • In the search box type sign-in-option.
    • Click on the sign-in-option.
    • Then you can find password/pin/picture password.

    Windows 10 PIN Sign-in

    Hi Pat,

    It is possible that the PIN set in an earlier build does not work after reinstalling Windows 10. To better assist you, we'd like clarify few things:

    • Which build and version of Windows 10 is installed on your computer?
    • Which build and version of Windows 10 are you using before reinstalling Windows?
    • Have you tried resetting your PIN?
    • Did you get any error messages after you verified the PIN you entered?

    Meanwhile, we suggest that you follow the steps in this
    article
    on how you can reset your PIN.

    Keep us posted if you need additional help.

    Can't use my PIN to login any longer

    Hi Tim,

    To further assist you in signing in to your Windows computer, you can follow the steps provided below:


    • From your
      lockscreen, check if the "Sign-in option" is available.

    • Then click the option to use PIN.

    • Enter PIN.


    If that didn't work, we highly suggest that you create a new account/PIN that you can use to log in to your computer.
