xbox game pass pc forgot pin

The pin will be the one you have setup on your PC not your Xbox.

You should see a forgot pin option, and then be able to reset it there if you cannot remember it.

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

According to Xbox support:

"Note If you've removed and replaced your security info within the last 30 days, you'll have to wait until the 30-day period is over before you can do it again. This waiting period helps protect your account if an attacker gets your password."

If he is not getting an email for the code it means that he is entering the incorrect email that is not associated or added as a security information on his Microsoft account.

Thank you very much, but I forgot to mention that horizon 4 is on xbox game pass for PC not on xbox, I tried to reinstall the game but nothing

Hi Ai,

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble logging in to Gamepass on your partner’s PC. I can understand how frustrating that must be.

The PIN that it is requesting is likely the Windows Hello PIN, which is used to sign in to your Microsoft account on Windows 11 devices. If you have not set up a PIN before, then you may need to do so in order to log in to Gamepass on your partner's PC.

If you’ve forgotten your PIN and can’t access restricted console features, you can reset it by entering any 6-digit combination three times, then entering your Microsoft account password when prompted, and then selecting Make a new PIN.

If you get a request to enter a PIN that you forgot, you can enter an incorrect PIN multiple times, and the device will ask you for your regular Microsoft account password. Then simply sign in with that particular password instead of using the PIN.

If you can’t go beyond the sign-in screen, you can select Forgot my password and follow the instructions. You can also check if the Set time setting automatically is turned on in your PC’s Time & language settings.

If none of those options work, you can try to remove your Microsoft account from your PC’s Accounts settings, then go back to the Xbox app and sign in with the Microsoft account you just removed.

You can also try to reinstall the Xbox Game Pass app or login in the Xbox Companion App first.

If you continue to experience issues, you may want to try logging in to Gamepass using a different device to see if the issue is specific to your partner's PC.

I hope this helps you resolve your issue. If there is anything not clear, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Your Sincerely

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
