I would love to sign in only once in – say, a – two or 3 hour span. As it is I have to use my pin every ten minutes. I wonder – is there a way around this?
Why windows user are being compelled to use PIN when i don’t want to? While removing pin windows 10 again asking to setup pin. Why should i setup pin when i don’t want to? compelling consumer like Yahoo! will seriously destroy windows.
Using Microsoft ID at Win10Pro, 64b. One day the PIN option at login vanished!!! I had tried to create a new one, no exit. I had re-installed Windows keeping my data and software, and it had shown for the first 2 logins, and then is out again. The only explanation is that I had used Advanced System Care 10 to clean my register before the pin missed. MIcrosoft support says that the only way is to do a clean Windows install…. Someone has a better idea????
How do you switch users from lock screen when using picture passwords? Doesn’t seem possible, I have clicked on every single onscreen object and can’t. End up having to log in and switch users from start menu.

I’m afraid not.

May we please have a tutorial on the ‘how to’ of changing our log in / sign on password?
You have one, here: How to change your user account password in Windows 10.
Thanks for the info. It helped solve a (sometimes) annoying issue….

You should use this built-in feature of Windows 10 to reset it, not third-party tools: http://www.digitalcitizen.life/how-reset-windows-10-its-factory-defaults-and-keep-your-files
