Had to convert my Windows 10 PC to use Microsoft account which forces me to setup a 'Hello' login method, only one available is the PIN (no bio or camera, don't want to be messing with a USB key).

So just how is a four character (numeric) PIN more secure than my 7, 8, 9, or 10 character alphanumeric Windows password? I don't get it.
