Microsoft has confirmed a bizarre user interface bug affecting Windows 11 version 24H2<\/a> devices that renders the password sign-in icon invisible on the lock screen.<\/p>\n The issue, stemming from the August 2025 non-security preview update (KB5064081<\/a>) and persisting in subsequent cumulative updates, has left many users confused when switching between authentication methods.\u200b<\/p>\n The glitch impacts users who have configured multiple sign-in options, such as a PIN, fingerprint, or security key, alongside their traditional password.<\/p>\n By default, Windows 11 displays icons for each available method under the \u201cSign-in options\u201d link. However, after installing KB5064081 or later updates, the password icon fails to render, leaving an empty gap in the list.\u200b<\/p>\n Despite the visual disappearance, the button\u2019s functionality remains intact. Users report that the operating system essentially hides the graphic while keeping the interactive element active, leaving users to click on a \u201cghost\u201d button to access their password field.\u200b<\/p>\n
