Terrible idea, good luck logging in on desktop.

[-] Salamendacious@lemmy.world 40 points 1 year ago

You know there's someone somewhere who would answer you with, "what's a desktop?"

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

"what's a computer?"

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

I began feeling old when re**itors started calling their site an 'app'

You can say Reddit it isn't blasphemous

Wait, you can't type emoji on your desktop? I feel sorry for you. 🥺

[-] BellaDonna@mujico.org 1 points 1 year ago

I have no idea how you could either. I don't know how to create them with s keyboard

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Winkey + .

Works on Windows and some Linux distros by default

Firefox has an addon that opens up an emoji panel.

For Windows 10/11, its win+; to open the emote window.

[-] lud@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

That doesn't work on the desktop last I checked.

But it's actually possible to set a password with emojis anyways (or at least for domain accounts). I successfully logged in on a VM using the Hyper-V window and pasting the emoji from the host. You can also name an account a single emoji and windows actually handles it decently. It's very likely to break a lot of programs though.

It worked on my desktop

😁👍╰(°▽°)╯

Works even in notepad on Windows 11, lol

[-] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Oh I meant the lock screen, sorry. As far as I know it works everywhere except the lock screen.

[-] WalrusDragonOnABike@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

oh, I never tried. There goes that option. Wonder if that was intention to prevent people from trying to use emoji passwords because they didn't trust windows to handle it.

[-] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

It's probably just because the emoji panel is a program and the lock screen has very limited or any capabilities to run any programs. And trying to make it the emoji panel to function on the lock screen is pretty much a waste of time anyways.

Its worked on desktops for years and works right now. As someone else pointed out "win+." works as well. Or maybe its supposed to be the only way it works and mine is bugged? Idk. I found it via trying to lock my desktop and mistyping.

[-] Garbanzo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's Windows logo key  + . (period).

Both work for me and I haven't messed with the keybindings for it.

[-] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Who needs Reddit when people like you are here on Lemmy.

[-] sverit@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Under Windows press Win+.
