Windows10 add PIN code login tutorial

Why log in with PIN
If you use Microsoft Account to log in to the system, if the account password is compromised, the malicious user can log in directly to your Microsoft Account and all Windows devices that are bound to the account. The PIN code authorizes and binds a single device. Even if the PIN code leaks, the malicious user can only log in to the device to which it is bound, or log in to the Microsoft Account.
In addition, the PIN code can only be used for physical login. In other words, the PIN code leaks others and cannot log in to the system remotely. If you can't guarantee the physical security of your device, then I have nothing to say. . .
Finally, according to Microsoft, using a PIN code is more powerful than using a password to log in, and it is more difficult to crack. Believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway (after all, I can only use numbers).
