About this tag
Pin recovery on Windows involves resetting or recovering your PIN or password directly from the lock screen, a feature introduced in the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. Users can click "I forgot my password" on the lock screen, verify with a CAPTCHA, and receive a recovery code via email or phone to reset credentials. Recent Windows 11 Insider builds also include security enhancements like post-quantum cryptography, though pin recovery itself remains a straightforward process for regaining access to your device.
