    Isn't this just a second password? Example, if you forget your password easily but can remember your pin why don't you make your pin your password. Maybe I am over thinking it; window sucks!

    Wouldn't a better idea be on how to get rid of win10 if your computer came with it. Why would anyone want to log in to such an atrocity. /Sticking with 7, Linux next?

    Why is a 4, 5, or 6-digit PIN, i.e. a 6-character password restricted to digits, better than a regular 6-character password?
