    How secure using a 6 digit PIN code to unlock local windows 10 pc?


    I've been using a complex password 20 characters long including uppercase, lowercase, digit and special character instead of a PIN code to unlock my local account pc but these days it's become a pain to type it every time actually.My questions:Should I use a 6-digit PIN code to unlock my local account pc?Would it be as secure as my complex password?And I wonder if someone stole my pc, would it be easy to break my PIN code?Does Windows 10 permanently lock my pc?if someone tries to guess my PIN many times?What do you guys think? I want to easily unlock my pc but security is my top priority.

    :)
