We have multiple Windows 10 user accounts with picture passwords on a desktop PC.

When signing my account in, if a different user was signed in previously, the sign-in screen will default to their picture. Switching to my own picture appears to be a pain - the only way I have found to do it is switch to a text password, then switch users, then switch back to the picture password. Ugh!

Is there an easier way to switch between users' picture passwords?

  • You might have to accept that Microsoft did not design this option to work with multiple users using multiple pictures and all users using the picture password.

  • Good point - but surely this is an oversight. I hit this issue within 20 minutes of the upgrade. I'll bet that it's 'patched' pretty soon.

Below the user account name, you have two links: one for accessing other sign-in options for the same user account and one for switching the user account. Click or tap “Switch user” and then a list is shown with all the user accounts that exist on your Windows 10 computer or device.
