The PIN must be 4 to 10 digits long and only numbers are accepted. Once enabled, the VeriScan for Windows app should require the PIN to use any of the restricted features with and active checkbox. ### Restricting Features You can easily choose which features are restricted and which are allowed without a PIN. Simply enable the checkbox for the feature you wish to restrict and a PIN will be required in the VeriScan app for Windows to use that feature. | **Feature** | **PIN will be required to** | | --- |
