Solved! Question about W10 logon password (solved)

[Charlie98]

Dumb question time...

I fresh installed W10Pro 1909 on my main desktop. Like always, I set a 4-digit PIN to log into Windows at startup (and waking from sleep, etc...) but what bugs me about it is... I type in the PIN and it immediately validates and opens to the desktop... I don't have to hit enter. I am setting up another W10Pro install right now for another computer... it's an older W10P version 1903, I think, and it makes you hit enter after the password. Is there a way to make 1909 change to this method? My thought is, if someone is trying to get access... the login method immediately tells them they need (in my case) a 4-digit passcode.

Yes, this sounds trivial, but having my home network get hacked last year will do that to you.

I haven't seen that happen before. What happens when you try to change it to a more complex pin with letters?

Well, sure enough... I changed it to a 5-digit AlphaNumeric code and it requires an enter hit. I'll have to experiment a bit with it to find the right combo...

Thanks for the suggestion!
