(I CAN do that, and i can use the resto...

Re: syncovery, destination another computer, can PIN be used in network connection

However, with a local account, you do have the option for both pin and password. Being that it's local, I don't know if it is totally c...

Re: syncovery, destination another computer, can PIN be used in network connection

tobias, i'm learning more as i search. for the machine, for the MICROSOFT account, the PIN is better, so that the password is not broadcast over internet to connect, etc, and the pIN is local.
