Use Password for Verification in Windows 11 PC

Yes. In Windows 11, password verification can be used only if Windows Hello sign-in is not being enforced for the Microsoft account on the device.

Try this:

1. Open Settings.
2. Go to Accounts > Sign-in options.
3. Under Additional settings, turn off For improved security, only allow Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts on this device.
4. Close and reopen Sign-in options if needed.

After that, password-based sign-in and verification can be available again instead of requiring Windows Hello methods such as PIN.

If the PIN-related prompt is happening specifically in Chrome while managing saved passwords, that prompt is commonly caused by the browser using Windows Hello for password actions. In that case, Chrome may still request Windows verification for password fill or password management actions.

Also, Windows sign-in methods are managed in Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options, where available options can include password, PIN, biometrics, and security key.
