Confusion on sign in

I'm a college student, and I recently added Microsoft office to my computer through my institution. This requires that I must add my college Microsoft account to my computer. Now, however, because my university is added to my computer, I am required to change my pin nearly every time I sign on to my computer. Before I added my university account to my computer I had no problems with this. Initially I thought my personal account was requiring me to change my pin, but it said at the bottom "your organization is requiring you to change your pin." Is there a way I can turn off my University's access to my laptop pin? I'm pretty annoyed by this.

    You shouldn't have to change your windows logon account to use office applications. Might try signing in to computer using your original credentials, then visit the O365 portal to sign in to your Office user account https://www.office.com/

    Hi,

    As far as I know, since you are using college Microsoft account for login and office app, current situation is normal and it does need to change password regular because of security policy.
    The only way to avoid changing password is using local account login system.

    Hope above information can help you.
