It's even Microsoft's recommended approach:
Why a PIN is better than a password (Windows 10) - Microsoft 365 Security | Microsoft Docs
PIN is local to the device
A password is transmitted to the server -- it can be intercepted in transmission or stolen from a server. A PIN is local to the device -- it isn't transmitted anywhere and it isn't stored on the server. When the PIN is created, it establishes a trusted relationship with the identity provider and creates an asymmetric key pair that is used for authentication. When you enter your PIN, it unlocks the authentication key and uses the key to sign the request that is sent to the authenticating server.
But if you're just trolling then stick with the method that makes you least happy.

And try switching it off - will extend its life.

Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostI'm guessing here, Wifi adapter is set to sleep in the power options, so when the device wakes, it takes time for the Wifi to connect.
Check the power management settings so that the network adapter does not sleep.
and they couldn't answer that on overclockers. It's good here innit?!

Laptops are not servers or desktops. When not in use, switch OFF.
So, next question - do you always get the issue, or only when you wake from sleep? Or only when you restart it from being shut down?
