Certificates on Windows 11 are absolute trash. They removed the ability to impersonate accounts by only allowing a pin certificate. The problem is there used to be a mechanism to login by username and password, but its gone now. So if you're pin cert doesnt work, there is no way to impersonate the cert anymore or emulate a seperate account. What retard thought this was a good idea...

And stick with a local account. I have the options of facial recognition, pin or username/password, at least on Windows 10.

It is still present on mine, version: 21H2 (OS Build 19044,1586)

Perhaps it will be removed. If that happens, that will be my cue to move to Linux, or maybe FreeBSD.
