When I go to the "remove pin", the button is grayed out. I contacted HP tech support & they said that's a software issue. I was able to turn it off in Win 10, but when I rec'd my new laptop that was supposed to have Win 10 installed, it turned out to be Win 11. Anyone have a fix?

    Hello Paloma,

    I have similar situation. I just get a new computer with Win 11 21H2 installed (OEM). I want to use only my Windows Account password, no PIN, no face recgonition, but the login still asking me to create a face "Hello, and if I choose to skip it, Win 11 ask me to create a PIN, so I close that window and I can finilly login, but on next login, everthing comes back.

    I try what you propose above, but I couldn't find the item 4 - "Require Windows Hello Sign In for Microsoft Accounts"

    Thank you in advance.

    Regards,

    Guy

    MS keeps saying they want to make their OS user friendly. So, why the heck can't they make it easy to turn of/on requirement for a PIN entry to get onto my Surface tablet?

    It's sort of a no-brainer. Heck, even my ancient Android tablet lets me do it with a few clicks !!!

    It seems that every time they update their OS, things get more complicated, and we have less control and less options. I DO NOT consider any of that 'user friendly'.

    My sincere apologies, I don't think I understand very well.

    The PIN issue you removed right?

    But you want to login without password in Windows, and even unchecking the Netplwiz box, you are asked for the password, is that it?

    Could you share a screenshot of the Netplwiz screen?

    Thank you for the informations.

    Indeed, you can uncheck the box of Netplwiz to perform login password.

    After performing the procedures, did everything work as you wanted?
