Does anyone know how to set a pin as the default method of signing into windows 10. I am constantly being asked to use my password and then i click options and change it to pin and then it will revert back regularly.
Thank you,

I tried to do as you suggested, but, i do not see and option to remove the password. If I go to update the password it will not let me proceed without putting in a new password.

You should be able to leave the new password field empty.

Hi,
To help you with your concern about making the pin as a default login, please consider the following information.
If you are not able to remove the Password, it means that your default log in option is by PIN. If you want to enable logging in through your Password, click Remove under PIN. If you want to go back to logging in through your PIN all you have to do is to click Remove under Password. Re-start your computer for this to take effect.
Note:
Always keep track of your password and PIN that you have created to avoid inconvenience.
Should you need further assistance, do not hesitate to post here.
Regards.

I empathize with the initial posters frustration in seeing that your last reply to him is completely unhelpful. He's asking to make the pin login the default option and you're advising him to remove the pin. you may want to rethink your answer. Also Microsoft
should look into this bug. I see a few other posts with the same issue. We set the pin, we prefer it to be the default, but it often times reverts back to using the password.
