4-digit pin code
Would a 4-digit pin code be possible?

It's better than nothing
And easier to Rember

I agree with this. an 6-digit pin for a gaming machine is overkill (especially when a no-PIN option is available). At the very least, provide the user the ability to choose PIN length.

Not significantly. A 4-digit pin is short enough that somebody who stole your Deck could easily brute-force crack it by hand in under a day. Probably a couple hours if they're lucky. To be fair, an automated program can still crack a 6-digit pin nearly instantly, but a 4-digit pin on literally anything nowadays is an embarrassingly bad level of security.
