Game recording app keeps asking for PIN password?
Is this safe and should I delete the app from my computer?
- Go to Settings > Privacy & security.
- Scroll down to App permissions and select the specific permissions that the app might require (like Microphone, Camera, etc.).
- Ensure the game recording app has the necessary permissions to function properly.
- Use the free Xbox Game Bar for recording the screen.
- Yes, Xbox Game Bar is enough for basic recording.
- +1. This is a built-in feature and no need to install additional software. It is fair enough for basic game recording.
- App Configuration: Some apps have security settings that require a PIN or password to access certain features, including recording. Check the app’s settings to see if you can configure or disable this requirement.
Device Settings: If your device has a security policy in place (like screen lock or parental controls), it may prompt for a PIN. Ensure that your device settings allow the app to function without additional security checks.
Account Verification: If the app requires you to log in or verify your account (for example, if it's a cloud-based service), make sure you're logged in properly. If you've recently changed your password, you might need to enter the new one.
Update the App: Make sure the app is up-to-date. Sometimes, bugs in the app can cause repetitive prompts. Check for any available updates in your app store.
Reinstall the App: If the issue persists, consider uninstalling and then reinstalling the app. This can sometimes resolve persistent errors or glitches.- Thanks for your answer! I got it!
- Also check if you see warning from Windows Defender. This is not a normal activity as far as I know!
- Never seeing this before when running app on Windows 11. It is a dangerous activity!
- This is abnormal! You have to remove this risky app!
- Delete the app and try another gaming recording software instead.
- It means this app is not signed, so it will ask you to enter password.
- This is malicious. Usually, no app will ask for PIN password. I suggest using other app to record the game.
