How to Change Password in Windows 10?
Even if you don't have a treasure map located on your
laptop, your Windows 10 password is still very important. If you suspect
someone has your password, you've been re-using passwords and decide to be
safer or simply feel like changing it, Microsoft gives you three different
options to go about securing your device. We've tested each method and laid out
how to change password in Windows 10 in several simple steps.
You can always choose a regular new password--we recommend
using a combination of letters, numbers and symbols. Usually it's best if these
passwords are at least eight characters long, and although we advise you to use
an alphanumeric password format because it's safer, you can also change your
password into a pin or picture that lets you sign in to your Microsoft account
quicker. And if you're trying your best to keep your privacy, make sure you
know how to use Chrome's incognito windows.
Also, literally keep your eye out for Windows Hello, which
allows you to sign in to your account through iris, face, or fingerprint
detection. But if you prefer the old-school method, here's how to change your
password on Windows 10.
