I'm trying to install Minecraft Bedrock on my daughter's PC using my Microsoft account. However, when I log into the store through her Windows profile, it's asking for a Windows Hello PIN that I never set up. I can't set one up since I don't have an account on her computer. I've tried to disable Windows Hello, but that only seems to work for her account, not mine. I already went through the authenticator process just to get to this point, but I'm stuck now and it's really frustrating.

It's likely asking for your computer login password instead of a Windows Hello PIN. Are you trying to use her account when you log in?
I faced a similar problem before. If I remember correctly, the Windows Hello PIN was linked to my computer's main password. You might want to check if that’s the case for you too!
If you can get access to the admin profile on that computer, consider disabling Windows Hello through the Local Group Policy Editor. Go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Hello for Business, and set "Use Windows Hello for Business" to Disabled. That should sort it out!
Sounds a bit complex, but I get why you’d want to disable it. Windows Hello can be so inconvenient!
