Hello, I'm attempting to disable the security setting that restricts Microsoft account logins to Windows Hello. Each time I change it and close the settings, it reverts back on. I need to disable it to enter safe mode, but when I try, I encounter an error about the Windows Hello PIN and can't sign in. Do you know anyone else has faced this problem or has suggestions?

Windows Hello offers a secure way to protect your device and information. It simplifies login by using fingerprints, facial recognition, or a PIN, with all data staying on the device rather than being sent to the cloud. You may have previously configured Windows Hello before, and you can turn it off if needed.

I configured it during the Windows 11 installation. I've been using it for a while now, and I'm not against it. However, it's blocking me from accessing safe mode.

I encountered the same issue. I resolved it by logging out of my Microsoft account and logging in with a local account, which eliminated any concerns about Windows Hello.
