Public bug reported: Microsoft Windows has a great new feature to sign in with a PIN rather than a full-fledged password to get to your workplace easier while at the same time keeping your root filesystem protected by your original password, of course it explains to the user the security implications of using a PIN rather than a full-fledged password, but it is like said at least much easier to use something 4-6 digits just to get to a web browser or do ordinary day-to-day tasks. Please add this feature to Ubuntu.
