Tutorial on setting Image password and Pin password in Windows 8

For many users with high security requirements, simple character-style passwords may not be able to meet their needs. However, hardware encryption will obviously bring technical difficulties. While win7 only provides a rigid character-style password. Even more complicated, it may soon be cracked by professional hackers in the face of powerful third-party cracking tools.
Win8 has made a new breakthrough in this regard. The use of image passwords and PIN passwords has greatly increased the strength of passwords.
The password for Windows Live ID is generally complicated. It is obviously troublesome to enter this complex password for every login. You can use the image password and PIN code at this time:
1. Press Win + I to activate the charm menu and go to "Settings & rarr; change computer settings & rarr; user". Here you can create an image password or a PIN password. (Of course, if your computer does not have a password, you need to set a password before creating the image password or PIN password)





2. Select a different password to set the password:

Image password:First, you need to load an image, and then draw a combination of points, straight lines, and circles on the image. These gestures will all become part of the image password, and you can simply repeat them, the system will determine whether the user enters the correct information based on whether the user clicks the focus position and the order of clicks, so as to determine whether to unlock. Obviously, this function is mainly applicable to touch screen users.

PIN password:The 4-digit Arabic numerals enable the touch screen user to quickly unlock and log on using the screen keyboard. After the settings are complete, the user can use the image password or PIN password to log on, greatly enhancing the security.
