大多数人使用PIN码或密码登录Windows 11 。但是还有其他登录Windows 11的方式，有些比其他方式更快，有些更安全，甚至有些甚至连微软(Microsoft)都不推荐。Windows 11为您提供了许多使用您的用户帐户登录的方式，从传统密码到PIN码、您的脸或图片。你想知道他们吗？然后继续阅读：
1.使用PIN登录Windows 11 ( Windows Hello )
登录Windows 11的最简单、最快捷的方法可能是使用PIN码。您可以在安装 Windows 11 时(when installing Windows 11)或之后在“设置”(Settings)(the Settings app)应用程序的“Accounts > Sign-in options”页面上为您的帐户配置一个。如果您为您的用户帐户设置了PIN码，您只需在Windows 11登录屏幕上输入您的PIN 码即可进行身份验证。(PIN)

如果您为您的用户帐户配置了多个登录选项，首先，单击或点击“登录选项”(“Sign-in options”)链接，按PIN按钮，然后才输入您的PIN码。

注意：(NOTE:)如果您使用PIN码对Windows 11进行身份验证，则可以通过添加安全密钥形式的辅助登录层来进一步提高安全性。安全密钥是一种硬件设备（看起来像一个小型USB记忆棒），您可以从各种商店购买。Microsoft允许您使用安全密钥登录应用程序，但不允许您使用安全密钥作为登录Windows 11的独立方式。
2.使用您的密码登录Windows 11
如果您没有为您的帐户创建PIN码，则登录(PIN)Windows 11的经典方法是使用您的用户密码进行身份验证。Windows 11 PC 启动后，在登录屏幕上，选择您的帐户(select your account)，输入您的密码，然后单击/点击它旁边的箭头按钮或按键盘上的Enter 。无论(Regardless)您使用的是Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft account)还是本地用户帐户(local user account)，此方法都以相同的方式工作。
Windows 11 登录选项：密码
如果您之前在Windows 11中配置了多个登录选项，则可以通过单击或点击“登录选项”(“Sign-in options”)，然后单击密码按钮来启用密码验证方法。

3.使用面部识别 ( Windows Hello )登录Windows 11
登录Windows 11(Windows 11)的最快方式可能是使用面部识别。微软(Microsoft)称其为Windows Hello Face，它是更高级的Windows 11设备和网络摄像头上提供的一项功能。如果您的Windows 11 PC 支持面部识别，则操作系统允许您使用面部登录。启动 PC 后，重新启动它(restart it)，或者在您想登录时，只需查看您的网络摄像头并稍等片刻，让操作系统识别并验证您的身份。
Windows 11 登录选项：面部识别

4.使用指纹识别登录Windows 11 ( Windows Hello )
第四种登录Windows 11的方法是使用指纹。但是，只有当您的计算机、笔记本电脑或类似设备具有内置或连接的指纹读取器（如带有指纹读取器的键盘）时，您才能使用它。如果您的 PC 具有读取器，并且您已将指纹添加到您的用户帐户可用的登录选项中，则只需扫描指纹即可登录Windows 11。

注意：(NOTE:)就像您在Windows 11中使用(Windows 11)PIN码一样，Microsoft允许您将（硬件）安全密钥与指纹结合使用，以进一步提高登录应用程序时的安全性。但是，您不能单独使用安全密钥登录Windows 11。
5.使用图片密码登录Windows 11（仅适用于离线账户）
登录Windows 11的最少使用方法是一种称为图片密码(Picture Password)的方法。这不是一种流行的方式，也不是推荐的登录Windows 11的方式，因为它不如任何其他方法安全。这可能也是为什么微软(Microsoft)只允许您仅在您使用Windows 11 离线本地帐户(offline local account)时才允许您使用图片密码进行身份验证的原因。如果您是这种情况，并且您已经创建了图片密码，请做出您在登录屏幕上设置的三个手势。然后，您将能够访问您的 Windows 11 PC。
Windows 11 登录选项：图片密码(Password)
如果图片密码屏幕未显示为主要登录选项，Windows 11 要求您输入密码或使用您之前配置的其他登录方法（例如您的PIN码），您可以通过单击或点击“登录选项”(“Sign-in options”)链接，然后按图片密码(Picture Password)按钮切换到图片密码屏幕。

5 ways to sign in to Windows 11 -
Most people sign into Windows 11 using a PIN code or a pasѕword. But there arе other ways to lоg in to Windows 11, some fastеr than others, some more securе, and even some that even Microsoft doesn’t recommend. Windows 11 offers yoυ manу wayѕ to log in with your user aсcount, ranging from the traditional passwоrd tо a PIN code, your face, or a picture. Do you want to know them all? Then read on:
1. Sign in to Windows 11 with a PIN (Windows Hello)
Maybe the easiest and fastest way to sign in to Windows 11 is by using a PIN code. You can configure one for your account either when installing Windows 11 or afterward, on the Accounts > Sign-in options page from the Settings app. If you have a PIN code set up for your user account, all you have to do to authenticate is type your PIN on the Windows 11 sign-in screen.
Windows 11 sign-in options: PIN code
In case you’ve configured multiple sign-in options for your user account, first, click or tap the “Sign-in options” link, press the PIN button, and only then enter your PIN code.
Windows 11 sign-in options: Selecting PIN
NOTE: If you use a PIN code to authenticate to Windows 11, you can further increase your security by adding a secondary sign-in layer in the form of a security key. A security key is a hardware device (that looks like a small USB memory stick) that you can purchase from various stores. Microsoft allows you to use one for signing in to apps but doesn’t let you use a security key as a standalone way to sign in to Windows 11.
2. Sign in to Windows 11 using your password
The classic way to sign in to Windows 11, if you didn’t create a PIN code for your account, is to authenticate with your user password. After your Windows 11 PC boots, on the sign-in screen, select your account, type your password, and then click/tap on the arrow button next to it or press Enter on your keyboard. Regardless of whether you’re using a Microsoft account or a local user account, this method works the same way.
Windows 11 sign-in options: Password
If you’ve previously configured multiple sign-in options in Windows 11, you can enable the password authentication method by clicking or tapping “Sign-in options” and then the password button.

3. Sign in to Windows 11 using facial recognition (Windows Hello)
Probably the fastest way to sign in to Windows 11 is by using facial recognition. Microsoft calls it Windows Hello Face, and it’s a feature available on more premium Windows 11 devices and webcams. If your Windows 11 PC supports facial recognition, the operating system lets you sign in using your face. After you boot your PC, restart it, or whenever you want to sign in, just look at your webcam and wait a second for the operating system to identify and authenticate you.
Windows 11 sign-in options: Facial recognition
If you want in-depth explanations and guidance on how to use facial recognition authentication in Windows 11, read: How to face unlock Windows 11 with Windows Hello.
4. Sign in to Windows 11 using fingerprint recognition (Windows Hello)
The fourth method of signing in to Windows 11 is by using your fingerprint. However, you can only use it if your computer, laptop, or similar device, has a fingerprint reader either built-in or attached to it (like a keyboard with a fingerprint reader). If your PC has a reader and you’ve added your fingerprint to the sign-in options available for your user account, you can sign in to Windows 11 by simply scanning your fingerprint.
A laptop with a fingerprint reader
NOTE: Just like when you use a PIN code for Windows 11, Microsoft allows you to use a (hardware) security key in conjunction with your fingerprint to further increase your security when signing in to apps. However, you can’t use your security key by itself to sign in to Windows 11.
5. Sign in to Windows 11 using a picture password (only available for offline accounts)
The least used method of logging into Windows 11 is the one called Picture Password. It’s not a popular way, and it’s not a recommended way of signing in to Windows 11, as it’s not as secure as any of the other methods. That’s probably also why Microsoft only allows you to authenticate with a picture password only if you’re using a Windows 11 offline local account. If that’s the case for you, and you’ve created a picture password, make the three gestures you’ve set on the sign-in screen. Then, you’ll be able to access your Windows 11 PC.
Windows 11 sign-in options: Picture Password
If the picture password screen doesn’t show up as the primary sign-in option, Windows 11 asking you instead to enter your password or to use another sign-in method you’ve previously configured (your PIN code, for example), you can switch to the picture password screen by clicking or tapping the “Sign-in options” link and then pressing the Picture Password button.
