Windows 10: Discussion: I'd love to be able to set a Windows 10 Hello PIN up to 255 characters, not up...

I change my PIN every time Firefox, LibreOffice, or Eclipse gets an update. They're all open source software programs I love very, very strongly. The 127 character limit on my Windows 10 Hello PIN works for now, but I'd love it to be up to 255 characters to be absolutely sure people can't watch me while I type it. My iPhone lets me have a PIN longer than 127 characters. Why not Windows 10? I have written feedback in the Feedback Hub app asking for this.
