I’ve used a PIN to log in for years, but suddenly my laptop won’t accept it?

Agreed, that fix usually works. One extra tip: if you're still stuck, try restarting and checking for optional updates—sometimes a follow-up patch resolves it.

This happened to me too. I ended up having to remove the old PIN entirely and create a new one before it would stick.

Agreed. This happened to me after a recent update. I had to use my password to log in and then set up the PIN again from settings.

This. Yeah, that's exactly what worked for me too—just a quick re-setup and it was fine.
