With the latest update (OS Build 19043.1288) of Windows 10, you should notice that your PC/Laptop login screen does not show the other log-in options. Like if you have enabled the pin login method then Windows shows only the pin login method on the Windows login screen.
Now, there are various methods to fix this issue. But I found a simple method during my use to fix it and if you are thinking about why causing the issue with your PC or Laptop, there is one reason for that and that’s you have “Clean Installed” the latest version of Windows 10.
When you open the settings and see the sign-in options you won’t see the traditional “Password” method and “Picture Password” methods for signing in to the system. So, how are we going to fix the “Missing Windows Sign-in Options on Windows 10?” for that please follow these simple steps to fix it.
Steps to Fix Missing Login Options on Windows 10

Step – 2. Toggle off Windows Hello Sign-in for Microsoft Account
When you open the Windows Sign-in options page, you will see “Require Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts” and it will be toggle on for higher security purposes. However, that is the cause for not showing the password sign-in method on the login screen. So, as shown in the image above you must toggle off the switch and proceed to the next step.
