How to Create a Picture Password in Windows 8

To create a new Picture Password, open the new Control panel (click on the control panel tile in the start screen). Click the users menu and on the right side you can see the Picture password option.

Click on Create a picture password, you might need to enter you current Windows password to proceed.

Choose a picture for the new password.

You can browse the files using the folders and select the image you want.

Confirm the image which you have selected in the previous step.

You are provided with three positions for the gestures. 

You can draw any gestures like tap, lines, circles on three different locations on the screen. 

Please note that you need to remember the location where you drew the gesture.

You need to confirm it once again and then save the password. 

Next time you want to login use the same gestures of the same size and same location to login.

This feature is best when used in touch screen devices, rather than on normal desktops.
