    I followed this blog and it worked for me. In case the link does't work:

    • Click Start and search "Edit group policy"
    • Go to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Logon
    • Double click on "Turn on convenience PIN sign-in" and select "Disable", then "Ok"

    The PIN wizard should not longer appear when logging in

    This is not a viable solution, this removes the necessity to enter ANY password at all to use my PC.

    I want to use JUST my password, not a PIN, not a fingerprint, nothing else.  Just my password.  And it keeps nagging me to create a pin every single time I log in to my computer.  Absurd.

    Hey Darren. Sorry this is a frustrating problem but there may be a solution for you.

    I will reference what the answers say here to help: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for...

    Press your windows key + X > Type netplwiz in the run prompt > uncheck user needs to use password for the account.

    You can also go to settings - account - sign-in options > choose sign in with local account, and you will have to enter a pin ONE time > leave new password and confirmation empty > log out and back in > should be fixed and you wont have to enter anything.

    If none of this works you may try to use windows key + X > netplwiz when it asks for a username and password, enter the full email address of your Microsoft account and the password > you'll never have to enter a PIN again.

    Let me know if this works out for you.
