How do I ALWAYS sign-in with my PIN? (Windows 10)

I deleted my old PIN and set up a longer one, lo and behold, it worked like a charm :) 

So, Windows 10 comes with various sign-in options other than using your Microsoft account such as creating a PIN and choosing a favorite picture. I like the idea of the PIN, but if I want to sign in with my PIN, I have to select the icon below the password bar to be able to type in my PIN. I know it doesn't take more than 5 seconds, but I just want to be as snappy as possible, like Startup > Type in 4 numbers > Do your thing. Is there any sort of way to make the Windows 10 Sign-In screen ask me for my PIN instead of my Microsoft account password?

It just defaults to whatever you used to sign in last time, I think

I'll try to experiment too :)
