Windows offers a variety of login options to ensure the security of your computer. One such option is the graphical password, which is a simple and visually appealing way to authenticate your login. This method is suitable for both devices with touch screens and desktop computers.
To enable the graphical password login option, open the βSettingsβ β βAccountsβ β βSign-in optionsβ and add βGraphical passwordβ.
If the graphical password option is not available in your settings, you can add it manually. To do this:
- Press βWin+Rβ and enter the command βgpedit.mscβ to open the Local Group Policy Editor.
- Navigate to βComputer Configurationβ β βAdministrative Templatesβ β βSystemβ β βLogonβ.
- Open the βTurn off graphical passwordβ parameter and set it to βNot Configuredβ.
With this option, you will be able to use an image to log in to your computer, rather than using a text-based password. This can make your login process more secure and more visually appealing. Itβs a good idea to use a complex image that is easy to remember but hard to guess, such as a combination of shapes, colors, and characters.
