It turns out that emoticons are considered a symbol, so they can beef up your passwords and make them more secure in combination with letters and numbers. Here’s how.
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.
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.
Terrible idea, good luck logging in on desktop.
You know there’s someone somewhere who would answer you with, “what’s a desktop?”
“what’s a computer?”
Listen here, you little shit
Dammit I’d forgotten that awful commercial. Angry upvote.
I began feeling old when re**itors started calling their site an ‘app’
You can say Reddit it isn’t blasphemous
I’m still in denial 😅

Wait, you can’t type emoji on your desktop? I feel sorry for you. 🥺
For Windows 10/11, its win+; to open the emote window.
It’s Windows logo key + . (period).
Both work for me and I haven’t messed with the keybindings for it.
Who needs Reddit when people like you are here on Lemmy.
That doesn’t work on the desktop last I checked.

Under Windows press Win+.
