PIN entry is an alternative authorization method for form factors where a 
typically long text entry (especially with numerals thrown in) is too much of a 
burden, like on a tablet device. I can see some additional methods, like using 
swipe patterns or face detection viable, but this seemed like the easiest 
approach.
