It appears that Microsoft is working hard to improve security of its upcoming operating system, and after a feature that allows you to store and synchronize passwords in Windows 8, today we have another security feature that we want to show you.
Today we have several types of security layers, we have text passwords, facial recognition, but it seems that Windows 8 will feature picture passwords as well. According to Microsoft, you just need to choose a specific picture that you wish to use, and perform a specific gesture in order to log in. As for the supported gestures, you can use lines, circlers, and taps, but some security experts believe that picture passwords aren’t secure enough because your gestures can be viewed or even recorded by another person.
We have to admit that picture passwords sound interesting, and although they aren’t the safest method of logging in, they will still be a welcome security layer.
