for windows to figure out I entered my password / pin wrong? I can apparently rip 6000 simultaneous threads in one second but I can’t see if two numbers are the same?

Why did the most recent windows rename password to PIN, who is just using numbers for a password?

encryption time and deliberately prevent people from spamming the service to figure out a combo in human time probably

I didn’t want to but win 11 was really aggressive about pushing it

it takes a while to format your drive and install linux. you can use a live usb if you are in a hurry

you can set a pin with letters and numbers, it is functionally identical to a password, it can even be the same as the account password, but it's a different credential in windows, and windows still requests a pin

And this makes sense to you, this is a good feature you’re going to bat for?

Plus my original joke was “why is it named PIN” when it could contain letters, just name it “password 2” Microsoft

no? what gave you that impression? i said they didn't rename password to pin. they're actually two different things, as stupid as that may be tbh, i didn't realize you were making a joke

ADINSX posted:Oh ok, yeah it’s real dumb, being a product manager at Microsoft must be a trip i mean, in this instance it was probably a pretty sweet gig, in that the entire infrastructure 1:1 copies what ios does, so presumably they collected full pay and went home early. which is cool and good, making people set strong passwords and use 2fa and such is important, but to make it doable (and to not train people to punch in their full credentials every time anything vaguely log-in-ish shows up) you make them set pin/passcode or use biometrics.
