Windows Hello unlock prone to weak PIN

Hi.

Disclaimer: Yes, I know that under the option to unlock with Windows Hello, there is a link to the knowledge base where the need for the strong PIN is explicitly mentioned. But.

People don't click on links, people don't gather every bit of information about corner cases of workflows that are so conveniently laid in front of them.

Me myself was fairly surprised, when the fingerprint reader in the system stopped working, that my vault can be opened with the Windows PIN. The PIN, which by default (by Microsoft) is preset to be numeric only and user can only change that by fiddling with settings.

I believe there should be a more straightforward warning about this when setting up Windows Hello unlock, for people who don't click on links, for people who are not familiar with the entirety of Windows Hello ecosystem, for people who are accustomed to MacOS's TouchId unlock. For people like me, who even with a fair bit of knowledge around these matters completely missed this until the fingerprint reader stopped working.

Thanks for considering this.
