    My gripe with this "Feature" is that I do not want a pin.  I know how to edit my account and remove the pin and I do this.. weekly or so.  The problem is that anyone can walk up to my keyboard and start typing my password incorrectly and prompt for my account to setup a pin the next time I login. Once they click that button, the next time I'm logging in I have to create a pin, there is no way around it. I then create my pin, go into my settings, and remove it.  You would think there would be a registry key that you could edit..

    You're correct. I found that Windows for a linked mircrosft account would like to setup the Windows hello feature. I have found that if you go into settings and Sign-in options, you can setup a generic pin. Once this is done you can then disable the feature and then remove the pin afterwards. This would then allow every power on of the system to go back to just requiring the microsft account password. I've had several instances like this from windows whilst repairing clients machines.
