Published in Windows Security 2 mins read

Setting up a Windows Hello PIN provides a fast and secure way to sign in to your Windows device. Here's how to do it:

  1. Open Sign-in Options:

    • In Windows, search for "Sign-in options" and open the settings page.
  2. Navigate to PIN (Windows Hello):

    • On the Accounts window, find and select "PIN (Windows Hello)". It may simply say "PIN".
  3. Click "Set up":

    • Click the "Set up" button under the PIN (Windows Hello) section.
  4. Verify your Identity (if prompted):

    • If prompted, you'll need to verify your identity using your account password or another authentication method you've previously set up. Enter the required credentials in the prompt window.
  5. Create your PIN:

    • A "Windows Security" window will appear. Type your desired PIN in the "New PIN" field. A good PIN is easy for you to remember, but difficult for others to guess.
    • Re-type the same PIN in the "Confirm PIN" field to ensure accuracy.
  6. Confirm and Finish:

    • Click "OK" to save your PIN and complete the setup.

Now you can use your new PIN to sign in to your Windows device. Remember to choose a PIN that is easy for you to recall but difficult for others to guess.
