Windows 8 includes a new feature which allows you to secure a user account by using a series of gestures (on a picture of your choice), rather than by using a password. On a touchpad, this could be a much easier way of logging in to your Windows 8 account. To create a Picture Password for your account, log in as normal and then click the [B]Control Panel[/B] tile in Metro: [CENTER][ATTACH=full]47[/ATTACH][/CENTER] Then, click [B]Users[/B]: [CENTER][ATTACH=full]48[/ATTACH][/CENTER] Now, select [B]Create a Picture Password[/B]: [CENTER][ATTACH=full]54[/ATTACH][/CENTER] You'll then need to confirm your existing password and click [B]OK[/B]: [CENTER][ATTACH=full]49[/ATTACH][/CENTER] Next, click [B]Choose Picture[/B]: [CENTER][ATTACH=full]50[/ATTACH][/CENTER] Select the image you wish to use and then click [B]Open[/B]: [CENTER][ATTACH=full]51[/ATTACH][/CENTER] You can now drag the image to position it and then click [B]Use this picture[/B] once you are happy: [CENTER][ATTACH=full]52[/ATTACH][/CENTER] Now you need to select 3 gestures on image, either by clicking and dragging with the mouse or using your touchscreen: [CENTER][ATTACH=full]55[/ATTACH][/CENTER] Once these choices have been confirmed, you're all set and ready to go!
