How to Enable Secure Sign-in for Windows 10

Windows users never know when their System is under target. Therefore, it is better to stay on the safe side while being online or offline. In this guide, you will learn how to secure your Windows by two methods.

Secure Sign-in is the additional layer of security that you can apply to your system. It doesn’t prevent the user from logging in the device if the user has credentials. It just makes the user press additional keys before the log-in options appear on the screen. If the one who’s trying to access the computer doesn’t know which keys to press, log-in options won’t be made available to that user.
