Updated: 10/17/2017 by Computer Hope

Picture password is a feature introduced with Windows 8 that lets you create three different gestures on any image of your choice and then use those gestures as your password. The gesture can be any combination of circles, straight lines, and taps. For example, if the picture is a face, tap each eye and then circle around the mouth.
