Windows telling me to make pin even if i already have one
i've had this issue for a year or more. i signed in my microsoft account back when i got the computer in i think 2023 and already have a windows hello pin, but Defender keeps flagging account protection with setting up a pin, so i click "set up", it pops up with "making sure it's you. we need to verify your identity for (my outlook email)", i put in my ms account password and says it's wrong, so i put in my windows password and it just closes. no errors, no confirmation.
i tried resetting the settings app like someone on the Microsoft forum site suggested but no luck
