Windows security popup
Windows security popup
This is really bugging me, it doesn't happen often but sometimes, usually when trying to purchase something online, I get this popup:

at that point I'm stuck because there's no way past it. It doesn't accept my Windows Hello pin, the "forgot my pin" link does nothing, I can't "X" out of it, it keeps coming back. Closing Edge through the task manager doesn't close that security window. The only way I've found is to reboot the system and try to avoid it popping up again. I don't even know why it happens sometimes and not others.
Has anyone else had this problem and hopefully figured it out?
It seems the problem might be related to MS Edge. Try switching to Firefox or Chrome and see if the issue persists. I no longer have Edge installed on my PC; I've completely removed it. Since I live in Europe, I can uninstall it there, but others are still limited to using Edge.
Discovered several possibilities to investigate,

Thanks for the feedback, but after reviewing the options it seems unlikely to be useful since all my devices are trusted and verified. It appears the issue might relate to accessing saved credit cards on my PC. Perhaps I should reset them and try again. After all, weekends are meant for that. Appreciate the help!

Yes, it's definitely browser-dependent. I've been using Edge for years and would like to stick with it, so I'll keep using it until I resolve this. The most straightforward option might be a fresh Windows installation, though I'm not entirely convinced. I tried that before, so I'll give it a try.
