Creating your own lock screen

Putting apps on the lock screen

Changing the way you log in

Setting a picture password or PIN

Avoiding logging in altogether

Windows 10 presents three hurdles for you to clear before you can get down to work (or play, or whatever):

 You have to get past the lock screen. That’s a first-level hurdle so your computer doesn’t accidentally get started, like the lock screen on a smartphone or an iPad.

 If more than one person — one account — is set up on the computer, you have to choose which person will log in. I go into detail about setting up user accounts in Book 2, Chapter 4.

 If a password’s associated with the account, you must type it into the computer. Windows allows different kinds of passwords, which are particularly helpful if you’re working on a touch-only tablet or a tiny screen like a telephone’s. But the idea’s the same: Unless you specifically set up an account without a password, you need to confirm your identity.

Only after clearing those three hurdles are you granted access to the desktop and, from there, to everything Windows 10 has to offer. In the sections that follow, you find out how you can customize the lock screen and the login methods to suit yourself.
