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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Dammit I’d forgotten that awful commercial. Angry upvote.
I’m still in denial 😅
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. 🥺
For Windows 10/11, its win+; to open the emote window.
Cmd+Ctrl+Spacebar on Mac

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.
Under Windows press Win+.
