Windows Hello in Windows 10 enables users to sign in to their device using a PIN. How is a PIN different from (and better than) a password ? On the surface, a PIN looks much like a password .
When you set up Windows Hello, you’re asked to create a PIN first. This PIN enables you to sign in using the PIN when you can’t use your preferred biometric because of an injury or because the sensor is unavailable or not working properly.
Why two logins on microsoft windows 10?
One of the reasons why the computer shows the logon screen twice is because many users enable the auto sign-in option after update. So, whenever your computer is updated the new computer setup detects your administrator users twice. One from the system and one from the update.
We have a Windows 10 laptop two of us share. We both have local accounts on the laptop. We both have separate Microsoft Accounts on different devices that we would like to use on the laptop. One Microsoft Account is already the primary Microsoft Account.
When we were researching we ran into the query “How to manage other accounts in Windows 10?”.
Type “Users Accounts” without the quotes in the search bar and click on it. Then click on Manage another account. Check if other account is present or not.
Sure, no problem. You can have as many user accounts on a computer as you like, and it doesn’t matter whether they are local accounts or Microsoft accounts. Each user account is separate and unique. BTW, no such animal as a primary user account, at least not as far as Windows is concerned.
How to see two user accounts on the login screen?
I would suggest you to login to the admin account to check if he see two User Account’s on the login screen. I would suggest you to provide a screenshot of the two user accounts which you see on the login screen.
Do you use the same pin on all of your devices?
I use the same PIN on all my devices. Might be if you have an item capable of the windows hello feature, you need to remove windows hello in accounts. Might be something you dont see has hello available – hello from something I’ve read relies on the PIN and TPM, so try disabling TPM in your bios/setup.
