Minecraft Java; Can't have PIN, yet it asks for it

Followed instraction, nothing changed, made a new local administrator in my PC, still nothing happened. Used the PIN from my new administrator to log in Minecraft, said it was wrong so I guess it needs the PIN from the administrator I use, and I won't change where I play the game so I CAN play it.

So the problem consists, how do I set my windows hello PIN when it says it's currently unavailable OR how do just not use PIN to access the game. I know the PC password obviously, it won't let me use that as a choice

It's rediculous that I have to go through all this for a game I paid and played since 1.7. All this safety measures for what? Not letting a stranger play my minecraft but also not letting me either...

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today despite this Maria

If you try downloading the old launcher (for Windows 7/8.1) again from here https://minecraft.net/download

Are you receiving the same PIN message?

If not, let's try some troubleshooting steps, please double check and do the next:

First uninstall the current Minecraft launcher.

Open Settings, click Update and Security and then Windows Update;

Click Check for Updates;

Click the Download and Install Now option, if available (Install optional updates as well)

Also, check the Microsoft Store for any updates on the Xbox apps and its services and update everything too.

Now, sign out from your account on both Xbox app and Microsoft Store and do this:

Go to windows settings > apps > search for gaming services app > click on it and select advanced options.

After that, click repair and then reset

Then do the same for the Xbox app:

Go to windows settings > apps > search for Xbox app > click on it and select advanced options.

After that, click repair and then reset

Finally do this:

Step 1: Open the Run window by pressing Windows + R key.

Step 2: Input WSReset.exe in the Run window and click OK.

Step 3: Then a command prompt window will appear. After a few seconds, Windows Store will open.

Sign in again on both Microsoft store and Xbox app with your account, install minecraft launcher and test

If the issue persists try creating a new local administrator in your PC and try from there:

I don't have the option to remove the pin when I press X and it's like it doesn't recognize it's pinned. The item is delisted AKA Minecraft Halloween Skin Pack yet somehow got pinned.

Thi still isn't fixed. I want to play Minecraft Java on Hypixel.net but I can't access multiplayer and on minecraft.net when I go to my profile it asks to buy Minecraft. Hey Microsoft please fix this.

I have the same problem. Purchased Java version a long time ago, and Xbox more recently. Now I can't migrate my mature Java account. They need to implement a mechanism by which accounts may be merged. Completely insecure and unacceptable to ask users to create new Microsoft accounts just to play Minecraft.
