No PIN, no Password, just fingerprint reader?

I ran into a similar problem a few weeks ago and was shocked that by deleting a folder it removed the user accounts pins (huge security hole, ty MS).

Since PINs are only supposed to be used on a given machine (and will only work on that machine, unless you use the same PIN on multiple machines, but these are in no way connected to each other) and it requires physical access and someone to be logged in with admin permissions to do this, it's not exactly the type of security hole that MS should be worried about plugging.

If you don't have physical security, then you don't have security. The number of violations of security basics that need to be in place for some "random passerby" to even attempt this would be of much more critical concern, in my opinion.
