    Asking for a non existent pin for windows hello?


    I just bought minecraft for my pc, and when i tried to download it, it said that it couldnt see if i bought the game on that account, and tried to verify with "windows hello". however ive never set up windows hello before, and instead of helping me sign up, it just asked for a non-existent pin. so did i just waste 30$ and now i cant play my game?

    :)

    Xbox PC app requires Windows Hello Pin despite Windows Hello being disabled on all devices

    Hi, thank you for the advice but it specifically is not asking for an Xbox pin, and will not let me enter more than four digits when prompted for my non-existent pin. Whenever it says my pin is incorrect, it explicitly tells me to change my pin through Windows Hello. Everything that is going on here is all on Windows computers. No consoles are involved. I can't get a screenshot at the moment as the computer that's been having the error is currently in use and I cannot get access to it, I will edit this post or reply to it with a screenshot when I am able to get to it. A quick rundown of the situation is as follows:

    There are two computers upstairs, one with Gamepass Ultimate, one without

    We are trying to put the Gamepass Ultimate account onto the computer that does not have it.

    When trying to sign in, the Xbox PC app asks for a Windows Hello Pin that does not exist

    There is no possible way to bypass this pin, and no pins work, as no pin exists.

    We try logging a different account onto the computer, it asks for another pin that does not exist.

    App thinks its a dictionary attack and locks us out of the Xbox PC app

    We just want to get my account onto a new computer, that's all we want, but it's asking for login info that doesn't exist

    Windows Hello Pin

    I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the Xbox community. How are you?

    This PIN you are asking for is the same PIN you use on your Windows to log in to your PC. Try using it.
