Windows 10: Microsoft asking for a Windows Hello PIN to verify it's me but I don't have one and it...

Hello, I recently made a new Microsoft account and it asked me to create a Windows Hello PIN to sign up later, yet, when I'm going to create it, it proceeds to tell me they need to verify it's me and they ask me for the PIN which clearly I don't have since the account is new. I've tried with my other account's PIN just in case but it tells me it's incorrect. I tried with the "Forgot my PIN" option and tells me that to reset it I have to go to settings, then accounts and then options to sign in, yet once again when I choose the "Add PIN" option, the same thing happens and it won't let me do any

:)

Windows hello asks me twice for a pin

Dear Ashesh Sharma,

Welcome to the Microsoft Community!

Thank you for reaching out to us about the prompt to verify Windows Hello when entering a password using Google Chrome. I understand that this feature may cause some frustration, especially for those who prioritize computer security.

Please note that the prompt to verify the Windows Hello Pin when using a saved password in Chrome is not related to a Windows update or a known issue. It’s actually a new security feature in Chrome, designed to authenticate users when auto-populating passwords.

If you find this prompt unnecessary and wish to disable it, please follow these steps:

1. Open the Chrome browser.
   
2. Type chrome://settings/ in the address bar or open Settings via the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner.
   
3. Navigate to “Autofill and passwords” to access Chrome’s password manager. Alternatively, you can directly access it by typing chrome://password-manager/settings in the address bar.
   
4. Turn off the “Use Windows Hello when filling passwords” option.
   
5. Restart the browser.
   

By following these steps, Chrome will no longer prompt you to verify your Windows Hello Pin when auto-filling your password. If you decide to re-enable this feature in the future, you can simply turn on the “Use Windows Hello when filling passwords” option again.

I hope this information is helpful! If there’s anything else I can assist you with, please don’t hesitate to let me know in your reply.

Best Regards,

Martin | Microsoft Community Support Specialist
