    Oh I’m glad that worked! I’ll keep that in the bank as a suggestion moving forward.

    The group policy solution right here:

    Click start, and type: gpedit.msc

    Launch it, and navigate to here:

    Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > PIN Complexity

    There you go, you set minimums, Maximums, etc.

    Good luck moving forward, and have a great start to your week!

  3. Sign-In Pin Complexity

    My old pin doesn't meet Microsoft's new complexity requirement.

    If I want my pin to be 0000, or something equally simple, that is my own choice and Microsoft shouldn't have a say in it.

    Hmmm,

    I wish you had pro, group policy would be a simpler fix for this for sure!

    I did find another article... and if you choose Option 2: Fix 2, we may be able to get that reg entry and potentially set that pin requirement.
