How do I only use my windows hello PIN to log into my personal vault on my Windows 11 laptop without needing to verify my identity with an email code every time.

Question

I want to be able to access my Personal Vault in OneDrive on my windows 11 laptop, but every time I go to unlock it, I need to verify my identity with an email to my email account. On my mobile devices, all I need to do is enter the 6 digit code I set up to unlock Personal Vault. I want to be able to use my Windows Hello login PIN to unlock Personal Vault On My Laptop. How can I use this method to unlock Personal Vault instead of verifying my identity with email every time? Thanks.

Hi @Isaac Carter

Can you log into personal vault on OneDrive online via Windows Hello?

Please note, Windows Hello can be used on web, but is not apply to OneDrive desktop app.

OneDrive desktop app uses 2-step verification to protect your files in Personal Vault.

Thanks for your understanding.
