4-6 Digit Pin Or Password?

Windows 11 really said "let's improve security" by forcing you to set up a PIN... then proceeds to disable NumLock by default on startup. So now you're sitting there at login, mashing numbers on your keyboard like a caveman, wondering why "1234" isn't working until you realize the NumLock betrayal.

It's the digital equivalent of installing a fancy new lock on your door and then hiding the keys in the most inconvenient spot possible. Microsoft's UX team must have a special place in their hearts for chaos. The PIN was supposed to make login faster and more convenient, but here we are, forced to reach for the mouse or remember where that NumLock key even is on our fancy mechanical keyboards.

Pro tip: The number row at the top of your keyboard still works. You're welcome.
