- The change was confirmed in updated notes for builds 26100.8875 (24H2) and 26200.8875 (25H2) and is part of the July 2026 security update KB5101650.
- Picture passwords already configured will continue working for sign-in, but they cannot be set up again after being removed or disabled.
- Introduced with Windows 8 in 2012, the feature allowed users to unlock a computer with a personal photo and a set sequence of circles, lines, and taps.
- Microsoft instead recommends Windows Hello PINs, facial recognition, or fingerprint recognition where those options are available.
To help enhance security, picture password is no longer available for new enrollment. Users who have already configured a picture password can continue to use it to sign in to Windows. If a picture password is removed, disabled, or not previously configured, it cannot be set up again. We recommend using Windows Hello PIN, facial recognition, or fingerprint recognition where available.— Microsoft's release notes for Windows builds 26100.8875 (24H2) and 26200.8875 (25H2).
