When you open Settings → Accounts → Sign-in Options, the Sign-in Options page may be completely empty. As a result, you cannot modify the PIN, dynamic lock, or other sign-in settings.
Resolution
Sign-in options may be blank due to an incorrect services configuration. To resolve the issue, follow these steps:
- Launch
services.msc
- Double-click “Web account manager” (
TokenBroker
) and set it to “Manual” - Double-click “Credential Manager” (
VaultSvc
) and set it to “Manual” - Double-click “Windows Biometric Service” (
WbioSrvc
) and set it to “Manual” - Double-click “Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant” (
wlidsvc
) and set it to “Manual.” - Exit the Services console.
See if the above steps have fixed the Sign-in options page.
(To see the default services configuration for all Windows services, see Windows 10 Default Services Configuration and Windows 11 Default Services Configuration.)
