    It's like Microsoft is actively working with "law enforcement" to circumvent your security.

    The fact that you have to edit a group policy to change this is simple trash design by Microsoft.  This is what market dominance looks like.  Trash.

    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..

    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.

    I do not want to change my microsoft password to another intrusive method i dont want ANOTHER PASSWORD

    I also do not wish to use a PIN.

    A PIN is LESS secure than a local password!

    This is because a PIN leaks information about it's length, and a password does not.

    I would be fine with a local password, if it was forced.

    I was just prompted with a blue screen on black that gave me a choice of set up a pin now, or to be reminded a few days later.  It also tried to get me to buy a subscription to office 365, which at least i was able to refuse.

    Please stop with this nonsense about it being more secure than a password, when it is less.
