How do I prevent being locked out of logging into my W11 computer when I am off-line?
Today, for the first time, I could not log in to my off-line W11 Dell XPS15 computer. My PIN was rejected; no alternative could work, as only a numerical PIN in acceptable.
After much querying of Bing, which was virtually useless (suggesting rebooting and such like, when, as I was locked out, I could not), I realised there was a WiFi logo on the bottom from which I could turn my WiFi on - and logon.
However, what happens if I am travelling with no WiFi or my WiFi is down?
Anyone know a way of preventing being locked out again please?

Under Settings > Account > Login Options, add an alternative login method such as a passcode or pattern lock, and ensure it remains accessible when offline.
