Picture Password sign-in option is being removed in Windows 11



  Microsoft Support::

Starting with Windows 11 build 26100.8875 (24H2), build 26200.8875 (25H2), and build 28000.2525 (26H1) to help enhance security, picture password is no longer available for new enrollment. Users who have already configured a picture password can continue to use it to sign in to Windows. If a picture password is removed, disabled, or not previously configured, it cannot be set up again. We recommend using Windows Hello PIN, facial recognition, or fingerprint recognition where available.

Thanks for heads-up but this just enhances annoyance - it's machine local so its unclear what the issue is. Desktops typically lack fingerprint and camera and when used from sofa via mouse PP is convenient.

On the sign-in screen with multiple options a little care is needed to have it default to a preferred method - there are reg changes but it's usually enough to close the option list just before logging in to get it to remember that choice - except when the PIN needs to be updated after a BIOS update clears TPM for example - when the PP needs to be re-done to restore it to preferred.
