    The solution is really simple. Under sign in options you have a keypad icon and a finger swipe icon. Simply click the finger swipe icon and sign in as normal. You may have to do that the first two times you sign in but after that the computer remembers your choice.

    You don't need to duplicate your password as a pin. Deleting the pin only works if you never shut down your computer.
