Hello, how are you?

Welcome to the Microsoft Community!

I understand that you would like to remove your Windows entry PIN.

Please follow the procedure below to remove it.

1. Press Windows+I to open the Configure window;
2. Select the option Accounts;
3. Select in the left column the option "Input Options";
4. In the window on the right, scroll down to the option "Require Windows Hello Sign In for Microsoft Accounts" and set the button to "Disabled";
5. Go up to the option "Windows Hello PIN", click "Remove", and confirm once more;
6. Enter your Microsoft account password in the next window and confirm.

I await news.

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'.

Apparently if you turn off the PIN, you have to use a password. I, like others, dont want to use either. I dont want it because my desktop is not being used by anyone but myself. My husband has his own, and if the grandkids and kids come, they all have laptops. I hate that I have to keep using a PIN or password to log in every morning. How do we turn it off where we dont need either one of those?

The remove button is greyed out for me so I can't remove the PIN.

Correct... even after the Hello Sign-in... the Remove button is still grayed out under the PIN option. It does not appear there is a way to disable the PIN. This is ridiculous to say the least.
