Hi,

I have up-to-date Windows 10 connected to my personal outlook account and as a sign-in method I use PIN. Everything worked without problems until corona hit us and school of my kid wanted to do remote learning through MS Teams.


They created school Microsoft account for us and I installed and connected Teams to it. Seem good right? But what I didn't know is that Teams integration caused that school account was added to windows accounts as a School or organization account. So Windows had 2 accounts: one personal and one was "my" organization. Then I wanted to change a PIN I was still using to sign-in to my computer but - settings said that "my" organization - school - doesn't allow that! And of course all PIN options were missing from settings.


I've already found a solution - I had to remove that school account from windows, change PIN and then connect it back. Luckily remote learning ended so I could remove it completely and now it works.


It's just completely bad idea to use a random organization account I just need for some application in windows security sign-in process. What if I had to communicate with school and my colleagues? I would have 2 organization accounts with completely different settings and one personal account. I don't care what settings those organizations have, it's my home personal computer and I'm the only administrator it should care about.
