Change PIN to Password in Windows 11 - use password instead

I am currently using PIN to sign in to Windows 11. How can I change it to using of password ?

Hi,

You can change using of PIN to using of password in Windows 11 easily. All you need to do, is to disable the using of PIN and then add a password, if it is not already created.

Go to Settings and choose Accounts:



In Ways to sign in section, click on PIN (Windows Hello) to show the options and click on Remove:



Confirm the removing of PIN by clicking on Remove:



Then click on Password to add or change password:



Windows 11 is usually linked to some email account. If you use Outlook.com email services, then current Windows password may be the same as your email account password.
