The codes used pictures for your entry to Windows, are not only a fun way to log in: they can also offer more security than regular passwords access, because they are harder to guess.
With the password using image, you can log in to your computer with your favorite photo instead of a conventional password that you keep forgetting. You choose the image, the gestures — circles, straight lines or taps — to use, and the points in the image to make them.
You can draw a code using an image directly on a touch screen with your finger or you can use a mouse to draw the shapes you want. Any person who has a Microsoft account on your computer can set his own code using an image.
To set an image code
- Swipe from its right edge screen to the center, press Settings and Change computer settings. (If you use a mouse, place the pointer in the lower right corner of the screen, move it up, select Settings and after Change computer settings).
- Touch or click Accounts and then to the item Input options.
- At region Code using image, tap or click Add.
- Log in with your own Microsoft account information and follow the steps on the screen to select an image and the gestures you will make.
