Set when the PIN expires in Windows 10

Today we will be tinkering with the registry to set the PIN expiration time to 10. With this you can force users to change PIN them, within a period of 1 to 730 days.

The PIN at 10 είναι ένας κωδικός επαλήθευσης της ταυτότητάς σας για την είσοδό σας σε αυτά. Αποτελείται από αριθμούς που θα πρέπει να είναι κατ' ελάχιστο 4 ψηφία. Το PIN το ορίζει κάθε χρήστης ξεχωριστά για τον εαυτό του και δεν υπάρχει περιορισμός από την , in how many digits to put.

Inside the capabilities of the PIN routine is to be able to set when it expires and therefore when you force the user to change their PIN. Of course this has little application to a home computer, but it serves the security concerns of a company administrator.

Σε ορισμένες από τις παλαιότερες εκδόσεις των , η ρύθμιση της χρονικής λήξης του PIN δεν ήταν διαθέσιμη.Η Microsoft έχει πλέον προσθέσει αυτή την δυνατότητα στις νεότερες εκδόσεις.

How to set the PIN expiry in Windows 10
The PIN expiration on Windows 10 is off by default. You can activate it using the steps below.

1. Because you will mess up the registry, make a backup first that, for any eventuality. For instructions click this link.

2. Press the Win + R keys at the same time and in the "Run" window that appears, type the word regedit. Do on the OK button to open the Registry Editor.

3. In the registry editor and in the left pane, go to the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Policies \ Microsoft

4. Right-click the “Microsoft” registry key, select Create> New> Key. Name the newly created subkey as PassportForWork . Similarly, create the registry subkey PINComplexity under PassportForWork. If these registry keys already exist, skip generating new keys.

Now, in the right window of the PINComplexity registry key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Policies \ Microsoft \ PassportForWork \ PINComplexity), right-click and select Create> DWORD Value (32 bit). Name the new registry string as expiration. Double-click the string to modify the value data:

5. Set the Decimal Base first, and then enter any value between 1 and 730 that will be the number of days that the PIN will expire. In this example, we set 60 as the value data, so the PIN will expire in 60 days. Click OK, turn off Registry Editor, and restart your computer to enable the changes.

Local Group Policy Setup: The same arrangements can be made through the local political group. Open the Local Group Policy Editor (Win + R and type qpedit.msc).

There, go to Computer Configuration> Administration Templates> System> PIN Complexity and double-click "Finish" in the right pane. Set it to "On" and enter the number of days you want. You can set from 1 to 730 days.
