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.
