65.016 Change or reset your Windows Hello PIN
A PIN is a user-defined set of numbers, or a combination of numbers and letters, that allows you to sign in to your Windows device instead of a password.
Your PIN is securely stored on your device, it isn’t transmitted anywhere, and it isn’t stored on a server. This makes it more secure than a traditional password.
If you want to change your PIN, or need to reset it, you have different options.
You can use the Settings app to change your PIN.
-
In the Settings app on your Windows device, select Accounts > Sign-in options or use the following shortcut:
-
Select PIN (Windows Hello) > Change PIN , and then follow the instructions. You must enter your old PIN in order to change to a new one
-
If you forgot your PIN, select I forgot my PIN and follow the directions to verify your account and create a new one
