Picture Password for your PC, futuristic extra protection



Few days ago, while I was opening my Laptop in Airport, I have noticed people looking in awe at my laptop screen as I unlocking it with a picture password. Well, it did seem futuristic but it all started with the introduction of Windows 8 way back. Still no one knows that the feature exists. No one utilizes the feature.




Why memorize a conventional password with all names, characters and symbols?

In many MNC firms, we are required to change the passwords every 3-4 weeks. 

The passwords are required to have symbols, Upper and lower case letters, numbers and what not.

Just imagine my plight to remember all those shitty passwords which change every 3-4 weeks and there must be different passwords for different accounts.

My thoughts: Use a Picture Password instead of creating pain in User's ass.

They will be extremely easy to remember as they align to how our brain works. We can remember gestures easily compared to a set of numbers or symbols.

A safe, secure and easy way which does NOT create pain in the ass.

To set up a picture password Windows 8/10: 

  1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
    (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
  2. Tap or click Accounts, and tap or click Sign-in options.
  3. Under Picture password, tap or click Add.
  4. Sign in with your Microsoft account info, then follow the steps on the screen to choose a picture and pick your gestures.
So my dear readers, please set picture passwords to your PCs and have a pain free, easy and secure way to log in to your PC.



 My Thoughts: Why not websites like Google and Facebook implement picture passwrds with gestures so the users will have a hassle free way to login to their accounts..

These animals, known as “cryptids”, are often the stuff of legends, written off as myths or elaborate hoaxes.  Some famous cryptids are Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, and El Chupacabra, all of which remain shrouded in mystery. However, many animals widely recognized today were once among these cryptids. The following ten creatures were once dismissed by science as products of folklore, imagination, or deception, but are now formally recognized as their own species. For the sake of consistency, animals falsely thought to be extinct have not been included (coelacanth, Chacoan Peccary, ivory-billed woodpecker). 10.Devil Bird The Devil Bird, or Ulama, is a frightening horned bird of Sri Lankan folklore.
