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:
-
Open Sign-in Options:
- In Windows, search for "Sign-in options" and open the settings page.
-
Navigate to PIN (Windows Hello):
- On the Accounts window, find and select "PIN (Windows Hello)". It may simply say "PIN".
-
Click "Set up":
- Click the "Set up" button under the PIN (Windows Hello) section.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
