    Thanks so much!  I must have accidentally clicked the PIN icon.  I was going nuts until I found your solution.

    I also had this problem and what solved it for me was to verify my identity on this pc. Go to start -> your profile picture -> account settings. For me there was a small text "You have to verify your identity on this computer" and then I had to verify that it was me with an authentication code sent via email/text message. After doing so the pin dialog never showed again.

    Good idea, but may become problematic for some when they change their password.
