I use remote desktop frequently to access pcs on a lan. Using mixture of windows 10 and 11. When logging in remotely to a microsoft email account the rdp usually required the PIN not the password. I just set up a new win 11 pro and it requires the password when I log on to it remotely. How do I change it to match the rest of the pcs?

Hello Robert, sorry about your problems. My name is Marco and I will do my best to help you.
To change the login method from password to PIN for Remote Desktop in Windows 11 Pro, you can follow these steps:
-Press Windows + i to open Settings.
-Go to Accounts -> Sign In Options.
-Below the PIN option, there should be a button to stop requiring a Windows Hello login for extra security. If there is, turn that off. This should allow you to switch from a password to a PIN.
