Microsoft really needs to prompt users for their Microsoft password once a month when logging in and not the pin.

Once again, today I asked a customer to type in their windows password and they proceeded to type in their pin. I said no, that's the pin which supplements the password for login, and for them to enter their Microsoft password. They, like most people have only entered their PIN they have no idea what their Microsoft password is.

 

In my opinion, Microsoft should prompt them for their password at login once a month so people will remember it.

    • I miss the days when Windows came to play

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      Actually, when Windows came to "play" decades ago, they never left. Play took over the Operating System to the detriment of business of serious consumer users. Made worse, in the Microsoft removed the option to have a "non-play oriented version of the OS" (as in a separate SKU).

      ".....hellbent on shoving Copilot down the throats ..." Not great journalism IMHO. Put it in an opinion piece. Besides it's cliché.

    • Windows 11 build 27909 is out with fixes for battery indicator and more

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11 build 27909 is out with fixes for battery indicator and more by Taras Buria This week's Friday Windows 11 preview build comes from the Canary Channel with a few fixes here and there. No new features or noticeable changes in build 27909, so Windows 11 Insiders get to test several fixes and general improvements. Here is the changelog: [General] This update includes a small set of general improvements and fixes that improve the overall experience for Insiders running this build on their PCs. [Administrator Protection] Fixed an underlying issue where the Xbox app wouldn’t launch when administrator protection was enabled. This may have also impacted other apps too, showing error 0xC0000142 or 0xC0000045. [Settings] Fixed an issue where the battery percentage was unexpectedly missing from the top of System > Power & Battery in the last few builds. [Remote desktop] Fixed an issue causing extreme graphical distortion and rendering issues using remote desktop on Arm64 PCs in the last couple builds. [Other] Fixed a high hitting pcasvc.dll crash in the previous build. Fixed an underlying issue where if you disconnected the device you were casting to from outside of Media Player, Media Player would still show an option to disconnect from the device. Fixed an issue which was causing Remote Credential Guard scenarios between the latest Windows 11 builds and Server 2022 (and below) to fail. The list of known issues includes the following: [General] [IMPORTANT NOTE FOR COPILOT+ PCs] If you are joining the Canary Channel on a new Copilot+ PC from the Dev Channel, Release Preview Channel or retail, you will lose Windows Hello pin and biometrics to sign into your PC with error 0xd0000225 and error message “Something went wrong, and your PIN isn’t available”. You should be able to re-create your PIN by clicking “Set up my PIN”. There’s an issue starting with the latest builds causing a small number of Insiders to experience repeated bugchecks with KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE after upgrading.This may occur when connecting to VPN. This Canary Channel flight comes with a delightful blast from the past and will play the Windows Vista boot sound instead of the Windows 11 boot sound. The fix should be coming in a future Canary Channel flight soon. [Settings] We’re investigating an issue in this build which could cause Settings to crash when interacting with the options under Settings > System > Power & Battery. We’re investigating an issue where some of the apostrophes across text in Settings and settings-related dialogs are not displaying correctly and are showing random characters. You can find the announcement post here.
