FIX: We Weren’t Able To Set Up Your PIN

We’ve earlier seen how to connect your Windows 10 to Azure AD, in this article. While you join Azure AD, after finishing the steps, you need to sign out. Then you’ve to choose another account from login screen to sign in with Azure AD account. When you sign in to Azure AD account, you might be asked to create a PIN. Sometimes the process of creating the PIN here might be stuck with an error shown below.

If you’re not interested in creating PIN, click Skip for now is the best option on the error screen. If you explicitly want to create PIN and can’t do because of this message, here is how you can overcome this problem.

FIX 1 – Create PIN From Settings App

2. In the Settings app, navigate to Accounts > Sign-in options.

3. In right pane of Sign-in options, under Windows Hello PIN, click on Add.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete creating your PIN and finish the wizard.

FIX 2 – Rejoin Azure AD

If FIX 1 didn’t solved your problem, perhaps you need to disconnect your device with Azure AD. Try these simple steps:

1. Open Settings App and go to Accounts > Access work or school.

2. In the right pane, click on your ‘connected to your Azure AD’ and then click Disconnect.

3. In the confirmation prompt appearing next, click Yes.

4. Once the account is disconnected, rejoin to Azure AD using steps mentioned here.

After rejoining to Azure AD, the problem of PIN should be resolved.
