What is Windows Hello Pin

When I logged in to my computer I received the message "Your account. Requires a Windows Hello Pin

A Windows Hello Pin makes signing in faster and more secure.  Unlike a password, it only works on this device, so it stays off the web."

There is a Create Pin area to click on.  There was no way to exit this page and when I clicked on the Create Pin box a Windows Security  box came up asking to set up a pin.  It would not take any pin after several attempts and my computer is frozen on that page.  After 3 attempts at shutting down and restarting the same thing happens.

Any solutions?

This sounds like a scam period. The way you take over the computer and it locks up if you do it wrong. Something very fishy here. You are doing this all wrong believe me
