Picture password option in sign-in options in Windows 10 Fix
Up until now, you've probably used a password to log into your Windows 10 device. But if you're using a tablet or laptop with a touchscreen, entering a password can be tricky. Try using a picture password instead.
Picture passwords have been around since Windows 8.x. They are a new secondary authentication method that allows you to select a picture and use character gestures to create a password to unlock your device without having to use a PIN or complicated password.
Using gestures on a picture to log into Windows 10 is more secure than a password in many ways. The most important difference is that the picture password is tied to a device, so it only works if someone has physical access to the tablet or laptop. This means that no one can access your device remotely, as would be possible if someone steals your password.
