Update -- Don't make your gesture too complex. I used an oval in this demo and Windows is really picky that your gesture is close. Maybe a circle would be easier to reproduce.

If you are getting old like me, passwords are a pain. Especially if you have mutiple systems and/or multiple accounts. Well, there is a simple solution that makes it much easier to get into Windows 8. Picture Password!!

Just follow the instructions in Windows 8 to setup a picture and the gestures you want to use. I recommend having a picture ready before you start.

The great thing about this is that not only can you use this on a touch screen, you can use this with a mouse on a regular, non-touch screen system.
