Best protection for Windows 8 log in?

[Morvotron]

I have my Windows 8.1 laptop protected from unauthorized access with a good reliable password, but i've seen lots of softwares that easily bypass any password set on this OS.

Is there any third-party software that allow you to set up a password or any type of log in protection that may be harder to bypass? (won't say unbreakable, cause, you know, unexistant).

if it is a local account your talking about your good reliable password is a consolation.

lock your windows 8 machine with your Microsoft account. i still have to see a software bypass that.

and use a PIN password.

The best password you can get for your system is your BIOS password. Search on how to set a BIOS password for your current BIOS. In order to bypass a BIOS password, they will need to move the CMOS jumper which is located on your motherboard, meaning they will have to open up your computer switch the pins that the CMOS jumper cover to reset the BIOS and access your system.

You can also encrypt your hardrive using a good tool such as Veracrypt.

Connect to a domain is another good layer of protection.

Picture Password is another good alternative solution since the bypass will be hard to crack because of different concept; all you have to do is provide a much tricky picture to avoid an easy access.

But speaking of bypass, an interesting article stated where Picture Password may also prone of brute for attack.*

*Of course that's already common sense because brute force attack will try everything and the success will be differ at all.
