A PIN is an easy way to login to Windows 11, however, it may not be the most secure one.

  3. Click on Sign-in Options
  4. Click on PIN (Windows Hello)
  5. Click on Change PIN button
  6. Click on the checkbox to include letters and symbols
  7. Enter your current PIN and then type in your new password
  8. Click OK

Now you have replaced your PIN with a password.
