I set up a password for my windows 10 user, which is a local (non Microsoft) user. My laptop has a fingerprint reader, so I enabled the fingerprint login. However, windows prompts me to add a PIN as a backup in case my fingerprint doesn’t work.
This doesn’t seem necessary, since I already have a password I can fall back to. I couldn’t save my fingerprints without first setting a PIN, so I decided to set my PIN to be the same as my password (by allowing letters and characters).
Now when I login, I can choose either my password, my PIN, or my fingerprint. Can I remove the PIN part while keeping my fingerprint option?
I suppose I could just remove the password and have my pin be my password, though I don’t know if that field allows all the same special characters that a normal password has.
In any case, it seems strange to require a PIN when there is another way to sign-in if the fingerprint doesn’t work. Am I missing something?
