Windows 10 - Use PIN instead of password
Pin instead of the password
Windows 10 offers the option of using a PIN instead of entering a password to log into Windows, apps or services
The advantages of a pin are faster input ...
Well advantages, which ones actually.
The background is probably that the users follow the recommendations for increasingly complex passwords, but ultimately fail and in the worst case, stick one of the famous pieces of paper with the barely-noticeable password on the monitor. The PIN is short, easy to remember, can be changed quickly and the new PIN can also be easily remembered.
There is also no need to click on register or anything else, after entering the correct PIN you can start immediately.
However, it is possible to use this feature even if you did not follow Microsoft's recommendation to use the pin during Windows 10 installation.
