  2. Now, from PC Settings, you will need to select the ‘Accounts‘ sub-menu.

  3. From Accounts, you are now good to go and select ‘sign-in options’.

  4. Now you can choose what kind of sign-in option you want to enable for your Windows 8.1 account: password, picture password, PIN or Password policy.
