How to Turn Off or Disable PIN Login in Windows 10

How to disable PIN logon in Windows 10? Once you've set up a PIN, you might find out there is no straightforward option to remove it. You have to go through the PIN login reset procedure to turn off PIN login. Here's how to remove Windows 10 PIN:

  1. Click on the Windows icon in the left-hand corner of your screen, you'll open up the Start menu. Click on Settings.
  2. Go to Accounts -> Sign-in options, click on the "I forgot my pin" link.
  3. A dialog box will open, enter in your account password (not your PIN). If you use a Microsoft Account to set up the PIN, you have to enter the password of your Microsoft account.
  4. After your password is accepted you will be prompted to create a new PIN, instead click Cancel.
  5. The PIN will now be removed from the account and you'll see the PIN logon disappear from the sign-in options. That's it!
