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?

    I have disabled it many times, but after each reboot I get prompted to create a PIN. I cannot log in until I create the PIN.

    I disabled it, as have many others who have written here.

    Perhaps the person means in a network environment where an administrator controls the option.

    In step 3 above, you say select "Input Options", but the only option I see that is close to that is "Sign in Options"

    Also, I have done this step before, but when I turn on my computer it keeps making me create a PIN, I have no choice.

    Now, I can't even "remove" the PIN sign in option. I don't want to be able to sign in with a 4 digit PIN option, I want to use a more complex password, but MS keeps making me create, and use a PIN, which is not near as secure if someone steals my laptop.

    Suggested updates (per instruction step number)

    1. with the font used by microsoft answers it is impossible to know if the character after Windows+ is an i or an l. Using lowercase "i" would be helpful.
    2. instead of "Input Options" on the left it is "Sign-in Options" on the right.
    3. now "PIN (Windows Hello)"
