    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.

    I was having this problem on my laptop, and then I noticed when I logged in that under the box for the password there were now two icons:  the one on the left representing a PIN (it looks like a ten-key), and the one on the right representing a password (it looks something like a password box).  I had inadvertently selected the left box, and so every time I started, it wanted me to create a pin because that's what I was indicating I wanted.  Make sure on your sign-in page (on startup) that the icon for password (under the password box) is selected.  That worked for me.

    Like commandos84, I am still getting the prompt using this method :/

    However, I decided to just create a PIN to make the thing shut up and there is an option to include letters and symbols.

    Make the PIN the same as the normal login password and it shouldn't bug you anymore.
