Lockscreen Pro for Windows
To get started, download Lockscreen Pro on your computer. Lockscreen Pro is a portable program and comes archived as a zip file. Extract the file on your computer before you start configuring it on first use. The lockscreen layout of Lockscreen Pro completely resembles to that of Windows 8 and you can add information like battery percentage and current system time to it. The program comes with some default backgrounds you can choose from, or browse through local folders and select one. You can configure the app to take photos from webcam on failed and successful login attempts. For failed attempts, the tool will record a snapshot with timestamp on it and as soon as you login successfully, it will show you the entire gallery with time at which the failed attempts were made. Once you are done with the configuration, set up a new unlock password and save the settings. The app will now give you the option to test the lock screen. Click on the Lock button to activate the lock screen. Just like the Windows 8 lock screen, the password field will be hidden with the backdrop and you can use the space bar to reveal it. Try some failed logins before you input the correct password to see if the web camera works.
