Trick to Keep a Picture as a Login Password in Windows 8

If you are bored of the old fashioned default password logging system of Windows-8 then do not worry because Windows-8 have allows you to set picture passwords which is one step secure than the normal text password.Wondering how? Allow me show you the steps for setting picture protected password and gestures.

Set Picture Password in Windows-8 :

Step 1 : Set a password first

Step 2 : Set Picture Password

2. Navigate to the “Users” tab and click on “Set picture password“.(Screenshot below will vary a little, Sorry.)

4. Now you have to make 3 gestures on the selected picture to make it more secure.Don’t blame me, Microsoft did that way ! .

Drag your mouse to make either an arrow or a circle on some particular place in the picture.You have to do it thrice and make sure that you remember all the gestures and  the places where you have made the gesture on.

If in case you have made a wrong gesture or forgot the gesture then you can use the “Start Again” button. Now let me show you the three gestures which i have made for myself.

5. Once you have set your gestures, you will be requested to repeat the three gestures that have set earlier for verification.  Once you have successfully verified it, Click on the finish button and you are ready to go.

6. To test the protection immediately, press “Win key + L” and enter the password. At any time you can change the password option to the default one by selecting “Sign-In-Options“.
