Topic: New PC Lock screen

On my new PC lock screen I only have a box to enter my pin.  I don't have a sign in option. Whereas on my laptop it displays a numeric keypad, which I could input the pin with my mouse. I have searched on my laptop and google for setting to alter to no avail.  Is there anybody in here that is able to suggest anything? Cheers Vicki

In Windows there is an on-screen keyboard facility

Start
Settings

Search in the box for

on-screen keyboard

Does that help?

Also, in the lower right corner of the page where one enters the PIN there are some logos.

On this computer, the second from the right, clicking on that offers the option to turn on the on-screen keyboard.

Maybe your computer has the same facility.

Re: New PC Lock screen

I'm confused.  You mention a pc not tablet so don't you have a proper keyboard you can type on?

I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure.

Re: New PC Lock screen

Thank you all, now sorted. The number pad using the mouse is my lazy way of using the lock screen

Like Eric, I am also confused, even more now since your latest post Vicki. I find it easier to use my middle finger of my right hand to use the number pad, I guess we are talking about different things!!

Ok so for some clarification for Albert and Eric.  We all have individual foibles about how we use our PC's.  Mine is using the number pad with my mouse for my pin number on the lock screen.  Hope that clears things up. Vicki
