Change Microsoft Windows 11 login from PIN to Password

In alignment with security best practices outlined by Microsoft and other trusted sources, it is strongly recommended to use a password rather than a PIN for user authentication. Passwords provide enhanced security and are better suited for safeguarding Microsoft 11 devices, particularly for users with Microsoft 365 (Office 365) accounts. At Cross Computers, Inc., we advise all organizations and users to adopt these industry-standard security measures to help protect their systems and data from unauthorized access.
