    I totally agree with Darren, I hate how it forces you to create a PIN, and anything else such as Cortana. I am asked every time I log on. This is really making me miss apple.

    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.

    that's all well and good but if you need a pin to get into your computer, how the hell do you get to settings? if I could get to  my settings …...tada,,,,I WOULD BE IN MY COMPUTER!!!!

    The reg fix worked for me. Doesn't even have the pin as a opinion to sign in with.

    I have the same problem, and none of the solutions here work. I wish they just remove the "hello" bug from windows altogether.

    Every time I log into my personal computer the damn thing wants a pin!  I am tired of it!  It is in MY HOME!  Nobody else is using it! If I type it in wrong I have to make a new one! Mirco-soft - I SEE WHAT IS THE **** SOFT PART OF THIS ****!
