Yes, the w-10 sign-in screen is totally accessible with Jaws.
Use narrator to verify your account, this verification screen is not
accessible with Jaws.
No, I do not use a pin on the laptop.
Yes, according to Microsoft support, if you are using a Microsoft account to
log-in to w-10, you must verify.
If not, after about 30 days or so, your Anti-virus and or your firewall will
be turned off, to remind you to verify your account.
Call Microsoft support yourself, that is what they explained to me
yesterday, take the matter up with them yourself.
If you wish to do nothing, that is totally up to you.
But if you are using a Microsoft account to log-in, to w-10, you will
experience problems down the road if you do not verify.
Thank you and have a nice day.

It would seem that the sign-in screen is not accessible either, as I just
came from there, and couldn't read a thing with it.
My OCR commands yielded nothing in terms of interactions, nor did the Jaws
cursor. Having said that though, I did have sighted assistance in the form
of my wife, and it would seem that even though Jaws wasn't reading anything
on the page, the keyboard was still entering information on the page.
The problem, of course, is that we don't know what field we're in and what
information to place in those fields unless you have sighted assistance.
One thing I did not have to do was Verify my account.
It might be because I did not set up a Pin code, but either way, this was
not a step I had to hurdle in order to get it to use my account.
Jim, did you set up a pin code?

Hi Jaws Users group.
If you are using a Microsoft account to sign into your w-10 computer, you
must verify your account!
You will need sited help or you need to call the M S Support line at:
Microsoft Free Computer Repair Number. 1 800 936 – 5900
How to check your system to see if you need to verify.
Windows key+I, for settings.
Right arrow to, Account, press enter.
Tab one time and listen, tab a second time, if you need to verify, this will
say, verify link.
Press enter on this link, will bring up a empty container window that Jaws
can not read.
I was able to use the touch cursor successfully on my desktop, and had
Microsoft send me a text code to my cell phone.
Which I entered into my desktop correctly and verified my computer with my
Microsoft account.
However, we did not verify our laptop yet.
So, this morning when it came on, my wife could not access her email.
The reason why, was that Microsoft turned our anti-virus off, and under
security, there was that same verify link.
so, if you do not verify shortly after installing w-10, if you use a
Microsoft account, this same thing will happen to you.
I am not able to verify our laptop.
After spending 1 and a half hours with Microsoft, they were not able to
verify it either.
So, waiting on a phone call, I did let them know that this verify screen is
not accessible at all.
So, why I am waiting, I am still trying to use the Jaws touch cursor to
verify our laptop.
Final thoughts, if you have sited help, use them to verify your Microsoft
account, if not one of these days your anti-virus, will be turned off by
Microsoft to remind you to verify your account.
I personally, do not like this procedure, but Microsoft says, its for
security purposes.
Those of you, who, do not have sited help, call the above support number.
If you are using a Microsoft account to sign-in, this verification is
required, no way around it.
Good luck...

A Ballast for My Soul
Life is like a stormy sea
That tosses to and fro,
But God's Word will ever be
A ballast for my soul.
By its truth I'll be held fast
Till I reach heaven's shore
Where I will be home at last
And sail life's sea no more!
