[QUOTE="piquiteco, post: 1024217, member: 96829"] Yes, I understand, but your desktop can accept the Trusted Platform Module (TPM). See the image of a TPM chip below, what model is your motherboard? [SPOILER] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1676045879824.png"]272833[/ATTACH] [/SPOILER] Forget TPM here now. The PIN is more secure because it is tied to your device. One important difference between an online password and a Hello PIN is that the PIN is tied to the specific device on which it was set up. That PIN is useless to anyone without that specific hardware. Someone who steals your online password can sign in to your account from anywhere, but if they steal your PIN, they'd have to steal your physical device too! Do you understand now? (y) Even you can't use that PIN anywhere except on that specific device. If you want to sign in on multiple devices, you have to set up Hello on each device. 😉 [/QUOTE]
