My M1 14in macbook pro keeps asking me for a PIN when I try to get into my laptop. I never made a PIN and I don't know what it is or where to make one or change it. I've been using my touch ID but sometimes it won't let me in without a PIN so I have to shut down my laptop all the time and restart it.
Please help me find my PIN or where to make one.
Thank you.
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.0
In order to set up Touch ID, you had to enter a Password first. You may not remember it, but you had to set one to start. It could be a passcode or password.
If you don't remember your password see this --> https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202860

Do you own iPhone/iPad and use a passcode on them? Try the passcode you use on them and see if that works.
Otherwise, use the Get Support at the top of this page to get more immediate help from Apple.
I have a password. I use it when it asks for a password. But when I'm trying to get into my laptop, it asks for a PIN, which I don't remember ever making. If I could learn how/where to create a PIN, that would be most helpful.
Thank you.
Well my password is not a PIN. When I type my password into the PIN area, it's not correct. But when I type my password when the macbook wants me to type my password, it always works. So I need to know where to make a PIN if you have an idea for that.
Thank you.
My password is a Pin. I set it up that way.
alrighty, thanks for the help.
PIN vs password
