Why for the past couple of weeks has Windows 11 switched between asking for my password and asking for my PIN when I log in?

Since upgrading to Windows 11, and before while I was still on 10, I have used a PIN to log in. However, for the past couple of weeks it has started asking for my password instead most of the time. About 75% of the time it wants my password now, and 25% my PIN. Is there a way to make this stop? I don't use sleep mode or sign out. I turn my comp off while I'm not using it, so I don't know if it happens while waking from sleep or if I sign out and then sign back in. Thanks in advance for any help. Have a good one.

HP Windows 11 PC. The log in is asking for a pin (which he has never set up) instead of a password. There doesn't seem to be any option to change this
