Microsoft PIN versus password for accessing email

[MACKTEXAS]

It has been known for awhile that Microsoft is updating its sign-in requirements by phasing out usernames and passwords and updating to newer authentification methods and security standards, but new Microsoft emails are increasing the pressure to act now. The new method(s) require facial or fingerprint recognition, or a PIN. I would choose PIN, but it is tied to only one device.

One advantage to email is the ability to sign in from multiple devices and not be restricted to only one.

Has anyone made this transition? If yes, how did it go for you, and what will happen when the day comes you need a new device, but your PIN is only associated with your current device?

It would have to be pin for me, as on my PC I have no camera for facial recognition and do not want one on the pc.
I tried the finger one on my phone but you know what, I have old fingers and thin skin so getting a reading close to the
last one I did is difficult. Had to keep trying several times and gave up as I guess my skin texture has changed.
I guess if PIN is all that is left I will do one I can remember and the next device do it backward! Hopefully it won't be a 10 digit number
