In Windows 10 the user is asked to set a PIN-code for login instead of password. At login, the user can manually switch to password login each time. To completely disable PIN-code login, which also will disable fingerprint and face recognition login, do as follows:

1. Click on the Windows logo at the bottom left
2. Click on Settings (the gear icon)
3. Select Account
4. Click on Sign-in options
5. Click on PIN
6. Click on Remove
7. You will be asked for the user password

Don’t worry, if you want to enable it again you just follow the same steps but choose to install PIN.
