How to Setup Picture Password for Windows 8

Earlier we have tried Face Recognition techniques in our Windows for log in into devices.Now i introduce a feature of picture password which is enabled in latest Windows 8.

So what exactly is a Picture Password? Well, this will display you a picture (chosen by you) on the login screen and you would have to make the secret gesture (preset by you) at the specific location on the picture. If you do the things right, you would be logged into Windows. I think the below picture will make the concept clear.





Steps To Setup Picture Password On Windows 8


      
       1. First thing that you need to do is click on the Settings option on the Charms Bar. In order to get the Charms Bar, you would have to either move the cursor from top right to down or swipe the mouse pointer in from the right.

      2.  Now click on the More PC Settings option

      3.  Click on the Users on the left panel and click on the button labelled as Create a picture password 
 
      4.  This will launch a user interface which will help you do the job.In order to choose a picture, click on the Choose Picture button

      5.  You can upload a picture from your local machine or Facebook or Flickr or SkyDrive

      6.  Now position your picture and click on Use this picture button

      7.  Now you need to draw three gestures on the picture. And these gestures could be the combination circles, straight lines, taps

      8.  Repeat the same pattern for 3 times and you are done with the setup
