In Windows 8 and Windows RT, you can use picture passwords, and logging on to your computer is no longer a monotonous character and becomes more personalized. If it is a touch screen, it can be easily opened by simply a single stroke. But if it's on a traditional computer, it can be set up as well.
Since you can pick pictures and draw shapes on them, there are infinitely different combinations, and the picture passwords are actually more effective at preventing hackers than traditional passwords. You can use your finger to draw a picture password directly on the touchscreen, or you can draw a shape with your mouse.
Set up the following way:
1. Start screen, from "Settings" Super button, click "Change Computer Settings", then click "User".
2. On the right "login options" click "Create Picture Password", and then follow the instructions on the screen to see the screenshot:
▲ Select Create picture password
▲ Enter your previous login password once
▲ Create Wizard--Select photos
▲ Find a picture of your favorite
▲ OK with this photo?
▲ OK, just click three times! If the touch screen is simpler.
▲ One more time, confirm the gesture.
▲ Congratulations, your picture password has been created.
When you log in, you can use the usual login method in addition to unlocking the image password. So, it depends on which way you like. The picture password seems to be set very simple, but it's actually relatively safest.
Here are some tips to keep in mind:
Do not draw overly complex picture passwords. Keep your pictures simple and choose shapes that are easy to remember and draw. For example, it is easier to draw a close-up picture of your favorite pet than to click a tulip in the garden scene every time.
The
Picture password is limited to three gestures, which must be a combination of circles, lines, and clicks. Again, it's best to keep it simple. It is easier to tap a person's nose than to sketch a city's skyline.
