However, we haven\u2019t really touched base with many of the possible tweaks that could be done to improve the functionality of the system, particularly when you want Windows 8 to run a bit faster or turn into a more convenient OS for you. Some of the tweaks we discuss today might work in Windows 7, but all of them certainly pertain more to Windows 8, its desktop, and its features. Let\u2019s have a look!<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Use a 4-Digit PIN to Log In to Windows Instead of a Password<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While Windows 8 might still integrate the logon capabilities of its predecessors, it also adds a bit of a twist: You can log in to Windows 8 using a 4-digit PIN code. Since several applications in the banking and telecommunications industries use PIN codes, it might be simpler to log in with a PIN code for those who are used to this kind of authentication. However, the Windows 8 PIN authentication method was chiefly designed to make the authentication process simpler for those with touchscreens, who would take upwards of 30 seconds to type in a complex alphanumeric password.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to use a 4-digit PIN, click the \u201cControl Panel\u201d tile in the Metro UI once you\u2019ve logged in.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/imagecdn.maketecheasier.com\/2012\/05\/win8tweaks-control-panel-icon.png\" title=\"win8controlpanel\" class=\"alignnone\" width=\"148\" height=\"148\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Within the control panel\u2019s \u201cUsers\u201d section, search for a button that says \u201ccreate a PIN.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/imagecdn.maketecheasier.com\/2012\/05\/win8tweaks-pin.png\" title=\"win8tweakpin\" class=\"alignnone\" width=\"308\" height=\"238\" \/><\n\nA screen will show up asking you to authenticate using your current long and boring password. Do that and click OK. Now, you\u2019ll be able to enter your PIN and configure everything to your desire. Enjoy!\n\n\n\n\n<h3><b><a href=\"http:\/\/maketecheasier.com\/5-awesome-ways-to-tweak-windows-8\/2012\/05\/04\" target=\"_blank\">Article Continued Here<\/a><\/b><\/h3>\n<p>This excerpt is shared with
