How to set a picture password as the default login method in Windows 10?
Desktop PCs running Windows 10 default to unlocking with picture passwords, but after setting up Windows 11 on a new laptop, it often reverts to a standard password after restarting. How can I permanently lock the default login method to the picture password?

It seems like Windows 11 does not default to Picture Password in the same way as Windows 10. Windows 11 has a new feature called SPP (Secure Picture Password), however, SPP uses a PIN and not a picture password.
