Windows 11 streamlines sign-in with simultaneous PIN and biometrics

A hidden feature in Windows 11 preview builds removes the need to manually pick an authentication method at the lock screen. The PIN field stays visible while face and fingerprint unlock remain active at the same time, letting Windows authenticate automatically. Microsoft has not officially announced the change yet.

• Hidden feature ID enables simultaneous PIN, face and fingerprint auth
• Users no longer need to manually select a sign-in method
• Lock screen looks cleaner and sign-in is faster
• Microsoft has not officially announced the feature yet
