    I choose to change my sign-in option to require a pin, but i couldn’t find the option to change or make a pin. But now it is requiring me a pin to login and I don’t know it. I only have an XBOX,

    Hi NateDogg6542,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues signing in your Microsoft account. I understand that you have an Xbox and your account is requesting for a PIN.

    If you’ve forgotten your PIN and can’t access restricted console features, follow these steps:

    When you’re prompted to enter your PIN on the console, enter any 6-digit combination three times.

    Enter your Microsoft account password when prompted.

    Select Make a new PIN.

    Enter a new PIN, and then enter it again to confirm.

    Give back to the community. Help the next person who has this issue by indicating if one of my replies solved your problem. Click Yes or No.

    Regards,

    Alvaro

    To change your sign-in preferences, such as requiring a password when signing in, follow the steps below.
    Press the Xbox  button to open the dashboard.
    Select Profile & System > Settings.
    Under Account, select Sign in, security & PIN.
    Select Change my sign-in and security preferences.
    Choose one of the following options:
    Do it fast, as if by magic: automatic entry, no need for a password or PIN.
    Barrier-free: No password or PIN required to sign in, change settings, or make purchases.
    Verify it's me: A PIN is required to sign in.
    Ask for my PIN: A PIN is required to sign in, change settings, or make purchases.
    Lock: Your Microsoft account password is required for almost everything.
    Customize: Select this option to customize which actions require a password or PIN.

    Hope I helped and see you soon

    Hey Mark!

    Nice to meet you! I'm Darhyl, an Independent Advisor. I'm sorry you are experiencing this. I am here to help.

    You can manage your sign-in preferences on your console, here's how:

    Press the Xbox button  to open the guide.

    Select Profile & system > Settings.

    Under Account, select Sign-in, security & PIN.

    Select Change my sign-in & security preferences.

    Choose one of the following options:

    Make it fast, make it magic: Automatic sign-in with no password or PIN required.

    No barriers: No password or PIN is required to sign in, change settings, or make purchases.

    Check that it's me: A PIN is required to sign in.

    Ask for my PIN: A PIN is required to sign in, change settings, or make purchases.

    Lock it down: Your Microsoft account password is required for almost everything.

    Customize: Select this option to customize which actions require a password or PIN.

    I would highly recommend you set it as "No barriers" for a less hassle way of accessing your console.

    You can also enable/disable your 2-step verification feature on your account on the web browser:

    account.microsoft.com > Security > then 2-step verification codes

    Thank you for your time. I hope you have a great day!

    Xbox app asks for a pin but i don't have one

    You can set a sign in option on your Microsoft account to use a pin instead of password.

    How do I find my Windows pin?

    To change your PIN in Windows 10, you may follow the steps below:

    1. Open Settings (keyboard shortcut: Windows + I) > Accounts > Sign-in options.
    2. Click the Change button under PIN.
    3. Enter your current PIN; then, enter and confirm the new PIN underneath.
    4. Tap I forgot my PIN.

    Logging into Minecraft on a new device issue

    Hi Jean,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I understand that you're having issues logging in to a different computer and you're being asked for a PIN.

    If the option I forgot my PIN is available, select it and follow the instructions to reset your PIN. If there are multiple accounts on the device, choose the one you need to reset. This option is only available for Microsoft accounts, not for local accounts

    If the option I forgot my PIN​​​​​​​ is not available, you must sign in with your password and then reset the PIN from the Settings app. Select Sign-in options and then select Enter your password

    You can also use the Settings app to change your PIN.

    In the Settings app on your Windows device, select Accounts > Sign-in options or

    Select PIN (Windows Hello) > Change PIN and then follow the instructions. You must enter your old PIN in order to change to a new one

    If you forgot your PIN, select I forgot my PIN and follow the directions to verify your account and create a new one

    Keep me posted.

    Regards,

    Alvaro
