Hey. I think they should change the PIN security when logging into your home user (after main log in screen). I think there should be an option for the user to choose between different types of PINs (i.e. 6 digit PIN, alphanumeric password, 4-Digit Pin, Button combo for consoles). Like many users…

Just for clarity/context and not to diminish your suggestion: This is about managed users (e.g. your kids) who don’t have their own account.

Keep in mind that the pin is not a real security feature. It is more of a deterrent from accidentally using the wrong account with Plex Home. Plex Home members are intended to be users you trust. If you really need to keep people out of your account, Plex Home should not be used.
