While discussing how you can skip password prompt to
automatically logon to Windows 8, I already mentioned that with the release of
Windows 8, Microsoft is targeting not only laptops and desktops, but also
tablets. To make the portable devices secure and at the same time user
friendly, Microsoft has introduced two new method of secure logon to Windows,
the Picture Password and PIN logon.

I personally feel that using a PIN as much more user-friendly
than the picture password and thus, we will see how you can set up the PIN
logon in Windows 8.
Setting up Pin Logon
1. To set up the pin logon in Windows 8, Open the start
screen and search for Users under the settings tab to launch the Metro Version
of Windows Settings.
2. Under the Users settings, click on the button Create a
Pin under the Sign-in options.
3. Before you proceed any further, you will have to verify
your administrative privileges by providing the current Windows logon password.
4. Once you authenticate yourself, enter a four-digit pin
and confirm it. After you have entered the pin, click on the Finish button to
enable the PIN logon options.
From this day forwards, you will be asked to enter your PIN on every Windows 8 logon event. One of the good things about the pin logon is that, as soon as you enter the correct pin, Windows automatically logs you in, and you will not have to press the enter button thus saving you one more button press.
If by any chance, you forgot your PIN, you can click on the
Sign-in option on the logon screen to sign in with your default password and
then go to the user settings to change or remove the PIN.
