Setting Up a Windows Password

Setting Up a Windows Password

A Windows password is a login code that allows you to access your device and protect your data, email, and accounts from unauthorized access. It's important to keep your password secure and not share it with anyone.
Microsoft recommends using strong passwords that are at least 12 characters long and include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Passwords should not be dictionary words, names, or similar to previous passwords.
