 Hello everyone, this is Ahmed Dan of AhmedDan.com. Today I'll have another episode of Chromebook Tips and Tricks video, and I'll talk about how to use Chromebook without a password. So if this is the first time, I'll repeat visit. Thank you for your support. On this channel, I'm always trying new and different ideas. If that is something you're interested in, please visit for more. If you're only interested in Chromebook videos, there will be links in the description box below. So today I'll talk about how you can use your Chromebook without a password. This is different than connecting your Chromebook to your phone and unlocking your Chromebook without using any password. I have a separate video about that, and what you can do if you'd like to unlock your Chromebook using your phone without a password, then these are the settings. You have to go to Settings, Connected Devices, Phone, and Smart Law. I'm going to show you this option very quickly, but today we'll talk about mainly how to use a pin or gesture pin without a password. For example, if you're typing in your password, then let's say my password is my password, 1, 2. And you can see that it takes a while to type it in, and I'm going to show you how you can use a gesture password, which is kind of using a sign, or you can just use a pin, so let's say 1, 2, 3, 4, or 6, 2, 1, 8, anything like that. But before that, let me just quickly show you how you can open your Chromebook with your phone. So in order to do that, you have to go to Settings, Connected Devices, Phone, and Smart Lock. So you're going to click on the lower right corner where you see the clock. So if you click on it, and then here's the round wheel button or settings, then here you're going to go to Connected Devices, which is going to be right here. And then from here, you're going to go to your phone and Smart Lock. So I already have my phone connected to this Chromebook, and once you go through the process to connecting your phone, then you have to just turn on or slide it to the right Smart Lock feature, and then it will open your Chromebook using your phone. But I do have a separate video on that, and I'll put a link in the description box below. So today I'm going to show you how you can use pin or gesture pin in order to open your Chromebook instead of typing your actual password, which can be a little long. So in order to do that, here I have the settings for you. So you have to go to Settings, Security and Privacy, Lock Screen, and Sign In. So this is where you're going to go to change your option for your Chromebook to enter a pin or gesture password instead of your actual Gmail or Google account password. So you're going to go to Settings by clicking on the lower right corner where the clock is. So it's right here. And then you're going to click on the wheel button or settings button, which is right here. And then from here, you're going to go to Security and Privacy, which is going to be right here. So if you click on it, and then here you're going to see Lock Screen and Sign In option. So basically you're looking at right here, Lock Screen and Sign In, Sign In automatically. So if you click on it. Now you're going to have to enter your Gmail or Google password. So now here you can see that there are a few options. And here one is Show Lock Screen when you're working from sleep. Right now I don't have it checked on. So what it means that if I close your Chromebook, so for example like this, and if I put it back, it's not going to lock Chromebook. That's what it does. But if you have this turned on, sliding to the right, then once you open your tray, then the Chromebook is going to be locked. But the reason I didn't turn it on because I'm staying at home. So when I go out, then I just turn off the Chromebook. So for that reason I have this feature off. But if you want for security always to enter a P in your password, then you can slide it to the right. And then you can see here that we have the option that password only. This is the reason I had to enter the big password or the Google or Gmail password on the main screen of the Chromebook. But if I change these to PIN or password, then I'm not going to have to enter the big password anymore. Now you can see that it's telling you to set up a PIN. So let's click here. And here it's like, you know, PIN must be at least six digits. So let's say if I set up a PIN, five, five, five, five. But it says it has to be six digits. So let's do another five. And it's giving you the warning message that PIN may be easy to guess, which is okay. This is just for showing purposes. So if I just click on continue, then we do it again. One, two, three, four, five, six and confirm. And now I'm using my PIN. So let's say, you know, if I turn off the Chromebook shutdown. Okay. So now I'm going to turn the Chromebook back on. And it's going to ask me to enter the PIN number. So now you can see the difference. It's not asking me to enter any password, but instead enter me to asking me to enter the PIN. So it's going to be one, one, two, three, four, five, six. And it should open it automatically. And you can see that, you know, the Chromebook has been opened. So that's how you can change your, you know, password to PIN. I'd just like to mention one thing that I don't see any gesture opening on this Chromebook yet, which, you know, you have, you should have available on your Android phone. So it looks like, you know, the Chromebook doesn't have that feature yet. So I'm sure or I'm hoping that, you know, in the future they will probably have that feature. What it means that, you know, you're going to just use gesture send, for example, this or this or this. Anything just like you have this feature on your Android phone, but it looks like the Chromebook doesn't have that yet. But when you're watching this video, they might have it. For that reason, I mentioned you because, you know, you might be watching this video from three years from now on. But as of now, the option is only to enter numbered password, not any gesture password. So that's how you can change your Chromebook login from password to PIN. And again, if you do not want to use anything at all, then the option you have that you have to connect your Chromebook to your phone using the smart lock feature. And then if you're connected to Bluetooth, which has to be both your Chromebook and your phone at the same time, then once you turn on your Chromebook, it's going to open your Chromebook. You don't have to actually log in or do anything. It's just going to open by connecting to your phone. But you do have to, you know, open your phone to open your Chromebook. And I have a full video on that, which is going to be linked in the description box below. And the other option I told discuss today is that, you know, you can easily change from a big password, which is the original Gmail or Google password to a PIN, which could be like, you know, one, two, three, four, five, six, or any numbered PIN. But don't use to, like, you know, easy numbers. For example, I just use five, five, five, five, five, five. But don't do that. Try to make it more like, you know, a little difficult. And you can use that so you don't have to enter, like, you know, your full password all the time. So that's all for today. Thank you for watching this video. There will be more Chromebook videos coming up. So I'll see you shortly. Thank you.
