Windows Security when accessing passwords
-
When trying to access saved passwords Windows 11 asks for Windows Password.
I type it in and it says its wrong... even though I just signed in to windows with it.On another windows 10 machine it asks for PIN and that works fine.
What's going on?
Any tips to help resolve this? -
Strange, anything here help (although it is on Mac)?

@StephenMF, easy to confuse the bar for the username and the one for the password. It happened to me too, entering the password in the usernme.

Found this in the other threads.
vivaldi://password-manager/settingsBut it uses the same dialog to disable windows hello.
-
@StephenMF I try to ask in internal dev chat.

Strange, on Windows 11 22H2 i have Hello with a PIN.
When i want to view passwords with Vivaldi 6.4.3160.34 Windows Security shows popup for Windows local password, when i chaneg to another option, i can use PIN.
Sorry for german UI screenshot, i currently can not switch my Windows to english.For me that worked to unhide logins:
- PIN
- Username and password of local Windows account
-
This is actually win11 23H2
-
@StephenMF Oh, i can not test, i have Build Build 22621.2506.
-
Just tried reinstalling Vivaldi, the lock remains!
-
@StephenMF Is this from Microsoft App Store or downloaded from vivaldi.com?
And you do not have "More Options" in Windows Security popup for login? That should appear if you have a local or MS account and Windows Hello PIN.

Actually from https://patchmypc.com/home-updater
And no, mine looks different. -
Thanks for all the ideas and help by the way.
-
@StephenMF I do not understand why the "More Options" button is missing on your Windows.
-
My Windows (11) Hello looks different than my Windows (10) Hello.
-
At the moment I am logging in from remote desktop though.
-
@StephenMF Where are the "Ways to Sign-in"!?
MIssing? -
Looks like they are missing.
-
@StephenMF With local login, no Remote Desktop, too? If yes, is a strange Windows 11 23H2!
-
I will check when I get home around 18:00 tonight...
-
It works when I'm locally signed in.
Still not from remote desktop.
