Sign-in options

Tired of typing your password so many time to get back in to your computer?  You now have options!

Picture

You may start seeing some "Sign-in options" on your laptop.  No fear, here is what they mean from the picture on the left.
  • Key = password (most secure)
  • Ten key = 6 digit PIN
  • Squigly lines = fingerprint
  • Smiley face = your face.
​
Keep in mind... the more sign in options
​you use, the less secure your device is.

And here is how to set them all up!
  1. Click the Windows icon (bottom left)
  2. Start to type "Settings"
  3. Click on "Settings" or hit enter.
  4. Click on "Account"

Once in Account Settings...
Going down the left side...
  • Your info.  Take your picture!
  • E-mail & Accounts SKIP IT.  Use Outlook.  It will be pre-configured.
  • Sign-in options (click each one and  follow the instructions!)
    • "Windows Hello Face"*
    • "Windows Hello Fingerprint"*
    • "Windows Hello PIN"* (I learned that the teacher laptops do not have the correct camera for this - sorry!)
    • Password is already there with your AD Credentials.
      *Will only be ON your laptop - not other machines.
  • Access work or school? SKIP it
  • Sync your settings? SKIP this is a School PC!

Or, just watch the video!

Keep in mind... the more sign in options you use the less secure your device is.
