作为最安全的操作系统之一，Windows 10为其用户提供了多种登录方式以进行身份验证。从常规密码和PIN码到面部识别、指纹、物理安全密钥和图片密码——Microsoft为您提供了一系列不同的用户身份验证选项。天真地，大多数用户一直在使用常规密码，很少有人尝试使用PIN 码(PINs)；这些选项很棒，但记住它们确实会带来挑战。那么为什么不尝试在Windows 10中使用简单、快速、同样有效和有趣的方式登录Windows系统的图片密码呢？(Password)
在本Windows 10教程中，您将了解Windows 10中的(Windows 10)图片密码(Picture Password)是什么以及如何设置一个有效的密码。
什么是Windows 10中的图片密码(Password)
图片密码是Windows 10 上的一项功能，允许用户使用自己喜欢的图片和手势登录系统。这些密码要求用户在所选图像上创建三个不同的手势，然后将这些手势用作唯一密码。这些手势可以是直线、圆圈和点击或敲击的组合。用户将需要在为此任务选择的选定图像上执行三个手势的特定组合。因此，如果您记得这些手势，您可以随时重新创建它们以进行成功的登录尝试。
总而言之，图片密码提供了一种有趣且快捷的登录方式，比记住和输入长密码更容易，用户友好，而且总体上更有趣。诀窍是让你的图片密码手势足够容易让你记住，但又足够复杂，以至于其他人无法猜到它们。
请注意(Please note)– 图片密码在触摸屏设备上效果最好，但您也可以通过鼠标在标准 PC 上使用它们。
如何在Windows 10中制作难以破解的图片密码(Password)？
请记住，图片密码在触摸屏设备上效果最好，因此点击屏幕上的手势会留下油渍和其他污渍。这可能会使您的 PC 容易受到密码泄露的影响，因为有人可能会解码您的手势。绘制密码后，快速擦除很重要。除了基本的卫生检查外，微软(Microsoft)也有一些建议让你的图片密码难以破解。这些包括：
- 清洁屏幕。
- 选择一张有很多有趣点的图片。只有一个或两个有趣位置的图像会给你更少的点数可供选择。
- 混合(Mix)不同的手势。不要只使用线条或抽头，以更容易记住的任何顺序混合事物。
- 改变(Change)方向，记住线条可以从下到上，从左到右。也可以逆时针画一个圆圈。
- 不要犹豫躲起来。让我们承认，图片(Picture)密码比键盘密码风险更大，因为它们会在您绘制时出现在屏幕上。
如何设置和使用图片密码(Password)
要在Windows 10(Windows 10)中为您的用户帐户创建图片密码，请执行以下步骤：
1]从“开始菜单(Start Menu)”单击“设置(Settings)”图标

请注意(Please note)- 如果您的Windows帐户没有密码，系统会提示您设置密码。此外，如果您有，Windows会要求您进行验证。
6] 输入您的密码，然后点击“确定(Ok)”。
7]现在从左侧面板中选择“选择图片”选项。(Choose Picture)当您查找图片时，请记住您选择了具有更多有趣点的图片。点击图像并单击“打开(Open)”。
8]被选中的图片出现在裁剪桶中；您可以拖动它以按照您希望它适合您的屏幕的方式对其进行裁剪。
9]完成后，单击“使用此图片(Use This Picture)”。如果您对图像不满意；您可以通过选择“选择新图片(Choose a new picture)”来更改它。
10]接下来(Next)，Windows会提示您设置手势。在这里，您将必须绘制三个手势，其中可以包括直线、圆圈和点击的组合。
您需要在图像上绘制手势。因此，请完全按照您的意愿跟踪手势。
11]重复(Repeat)手势，因为您现在必须确认它们。确保您输入的手势与您之前输入的顺序正确。
12]一旦(Once)成功确认您的图片密码就准备好了。
13]单击“完成(Finish)”以确认并将您的图片密码(Password)付诸行动。
现在尝试通过按“ Alt + Ctrl + Del ”键选择“锁定(Lock)”来锁定您的系统——确保在此处复制您的手势。因此，下次您尝试登录 Windows 10 PC 时，操作系统会要求您输入图片密码，而不是您的常规帐户密码。

What is a Picture Password in Windows 10
Picture password is a feature on Windows 10 that allows users to log into their systems using their favorite pictures and gestures. These passwords demand the user to create three different gestures on a chosen image and then use those gestures as unique passwords. These gestures can have a combination of straight lines, circles, and clicks or taps. The user will need to perform a specific combination of the three gestures on the selected image chosen for this task. So, if you remember the gestures you can always recreate them for a successful log-in attempt.
All in all, the picture password offers an interesting and quick way to log in, it is easier than remembering and typing a long password, user-friendly, and much more fun in general. The trick is to make your picture password gestures easy enough for you to remember but complex enough so someone else would not be able to guess them.
Please note – Picture passwords work best on touch-screen devices, but you can also use them on a standard PC via your mouse.

In addition to the basic hygiene check, Microsoft too has a few suggestions for making your picture passwords tough to crack. These include:

- Mix different gestures. Do not use just lines or taps, mix up things in any sequence that is easier for you to remember.
- Change direction, remember lines can go from bottom to top and left to right. And a circle can be made anti-clockwise too.
