Power automate forces me to enter my PIN numerous times

Hey there,
 
This is my first time posting here, so please let me know if I should direct this elsewhere.
 
Every time I start Power Automate It makes me enter my PIN (used to login to the computer, not my password for the account). It requests it a total of 7 times, and if I hit cancel at any point, it returns me to the login page saying failed to login. Power Automate also requests my PIN 3 times to open the edit page for any flows. Once again, hitting cancel will not open the flow. Additionally, I have to enter the PIN in order to save the flow, otherwise I get an error that just says "Error during cloud flow save".
 
This does not happen on any other device using the same account, and does not happen on this device using any other accounts. I have tried re-installing the app and repairing it, with no change. I should note this has been ongoing for a while, but it was not an issue for the first few weeks using the app (I am fairly new to power automate)
 
Thanks in advance
I have the same question (0)

    Hi
     
    Did you enable Windows Hello on THAT specific device? And not the others?
