macOS asks for a PIN instead of a password

Whenever you try to athenticate macOS asks for a PIN instead of a password. This happens if you paired your key at some point with macOS.


Just open `Terminal.app` and unpair it:

```bash
sudo /usr/sbin/sc_auth unpair -u YourUserName
```
or simply

```bash
sudo /usr/sbin/sc_auth unpair
```

Take out your key if you have it plugged in and reboot.

Your key should be unpaired from your username. Remember you don't have to pair your key to use it. You only have to pair it if you want to use it for macOS authentication.
