    Minecraft, Hello Pin, and an Unhappy Son


    Using Windows 10 and trying to install Minecraft for my son. The computer REALLY wants to authenticate using Hello Pin, which I’ve never setup, so the setup fails. I cannot change the option to use authenticator, password, etc. Internet suggests disabling Hello PIN but the option is grayed out -Something went wrong. Try again later. I’ve tried later for about three years without success. Why is Hello Pin the spawn of all things unholy, and how do I get around this roadblock? I’ve repurchased Minecraft several times to get around this. Help me, Microsoft gurus, you’re my only hope…

    :)

    Hello PIN

    That is strange, have you logged into your account online via microsoft.com? Maybe it has a solution for the Pin, otherwise i would try removing and adding your account again.

    if you use a pin to sign into your lap top it would be that . I had this issue last week . 🤔

    Hello PIN

    I'm sorry to hear this. The only way would be to remove the account from Windows and the re adding it

    Windows Hello Pin Problem with Minecraft

    Hi, Eugene O..

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    A local account on Windows is a type of user account that is used directly on a single computer without the need for network authentication or a connection to a Microsoft account. This means your settings, files, and preferences are stored only on the local machine, and you do not have access to various Microsoft services or the ability to sync your settings across devices unless you sign in to individual services separately.

    To check if you're using a local account on Windows 11:

    1. Open Settings: Click on the Start button and select the Settings icon (a gear shape), or press on your keyboard.Windows + I
    2. Access Accounts: In the Settings window, click on the "Accounts" section on the sidebar.
    3. Look at Your Account Information: Your account information will be displayed in the main pane. If you're using a local account, it will say so under your account name. If it mentions an email address under your name, you are using a Microsoft account instead.

    Sincerely
