Comment on Security expert reveals surprising way to make your password stronger: use emojis
WalrusDragonOnABike@kbin.social 7 months agoFor Windows 10/11, its win+; to open the emote window.
That doesn’t work on the desktop last I checked.
But it’s actually possible to set a password with emojis anyways (or at least for domain accounts). I successfully logged in on a VM using the Hyper-V window and pasting the emoji from the host. You can also name an account a single emoji and windows actually handles it decently. It’s very likely to break a lot of programs though.
It worked on my desktop
Oh I meant the lock screen, sorry. As far as I know it works everywhere except the lock screen.
oh, I never tried. There goes that option. Wonder if that was intention to prevent people from trying to use emoji passwords because they didn't trust windows to handle it.
Its worked on desktops for years and works right now. As someone else pointed out "win+." works as well. Or maybe its supposed to be the only way it works and mine is bugged? Idk.
It’s Windows logo key + . (period).
Both work for me and I haven't messed with the keybindings for it.
