Set Picture Password for your Account in Windows 10?

Picture Password will help you to sign in to your windows 10 machines. You choose the picture and the three gestures you use with it to create a password that's uniquely yours. When you have chosen a picture, you "draw" with the mouse, touch-pad, or pin/finger on a touchscreen to create a combination of circles, straight lines, and taps. The size, position, and direction of your gestures become part of your picture password.

When you change your picture password, you can keep your current picture and change your gestures, or choose a new picture. Here we are going to see how to Set Picture Password in your windows 10 machine.
