- Start date
Then PIN is for the user account of the computer the shared drive is connected to.
More choices may be for other ways to log into that account. For example, a password.
I have both PINs and passwords for my accounts but I use a PIN by default. However, sometimes when I want to connect to network shares from certain computers
I have to enter both the user name and password like this. I have not seen an option for "More choices"
