Quote:Registry Editor

If you want to use the Registry Editor method, launch the app by typing regedit.exe in the Start menu. Then, browse to the following location:

Code:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Policies > Microsoft > PassportForWork > PINComplexity

In the right side of the screen, there are two registry items that allow you to change the minimum and maximum length of the PIN. They are called:

Code:

MinimumPINLength
MaximumPINLength

You can simply double-click any of these two policies, select the Decimal option and then provide any value between 4 and 127, just like in the case of the Group Policy Editor.

The moment you close the Registry Editor, your settings are saved. If you want to return to the previous configuration at a later time, you can simply delete the two registry keys because they are automatically re-created after a system reboot with the default values.
