Entering your password every time you log into your Windows 10 computer can get tiresome after a while. If it’s a personal computer and no one can access it without your permission, you can clear the login password screen. To avoid trouble, you can simply disable the login password feature on Windows 10.
Disabling the password takes an extra step when you want to use your PC. However, it also has the potential to affect the safety of the computer. We don’t recommend removing your login password, and you should read on to find out why.
Why is it not recommended?
As mentioned earlier, removing the password to log into Windows can put your data at risk. Anyone can easily use your computer and can access your personal files. Second, you may be at greater risk if your laptop or PC is stolen.
More importantly, if it’s an admin account for which you’re going to remove the password, any malicious apps running on your device will have more advanced access than before.
That said, removing passwords from personal computers makes sense for some people. And if that’s the case, we will guide you to completely remove the Windows 10 login password.
Check out how to disable the Login Password prompt in Windows.
How to turn off the login password prompt in Windows
To get rid of the login password, the first thing you need to do is turn off the login username and password feature so that Windows doesn’t ask you so every time you log in. Here’s how to do it.
Step 1: Click on the Start menu, type netplwiz and press Enter. Alternatively, you can open the Run dialog with the Windows + R keyboard shortcut and type netplwiz in there. Then click OK.
Step 2: In the User Accounts screen that opens, select the account you want to remove the password for if you have multiple accounts.
Step 3: Uncheck the box that says ‘Users must enter a username and password to use this computer’. And then, click Apply.
Step 4: Confirm your Microsoft Account Information by entering the password twice and clicking OK. Click OK again.
Windows will then delete your password.
Note: If you enter the wrong password in the last step, Windows won’t prompt you for it right away.
Windows will show you an error message along with two identical accounts the next time you try to sign in. And you’ll have to enter a password to use either of those accounts. Once logged in, follow the steps mentioned above and enter the correct password.
How to disable the ‘Login’ prompt
Even entering a password every time your PC wakes up from sleep can be tiring and anyone wants direct access to the screen. In that case, you can disable the ‘Require sign-in’ prompt in Windows 10. Here’s how.
Step 1: Click Start Menu again and open Settings. Then click Accounts.
Step 2: Click Sign-in Options on your left and then change the setting under Require login to Never from the drop-down list.
After that, restart your computer to check if it boots directly without asking for a password.
Alternatively, you can switch to a local account to sign in directly to Windows 10. Here’s how.
How to switch to a local account
Another way to sign in directly on Windows 10 is to switch to a Local Account. Note that by switching to a local account, you won’t be able to access your personalized settings. If you’re okay with that, here’s how you can do it.
Step 1: Click Start Menu and open Settings. Then go to Accounts.
Step 2: Click Your Info on the left, then ‘Sign in with an alternate local account’ and click Next. You will then be prompted to enter your current password.
Step 3: Create a new username and leave the password field blank and press Next. Then click Sign Out and Finish.
This way you can create a local account without any password and log in directly on Windows 10. Simple right?
How to remove password from local account
If you used a Local account with a set password, then you need to remove the password from that account to log in directly. This is the way.
Step 1: Click Start Menu and open Settings. Then go to Accounts.
Step 2: Click Sign-in Options on your left side. Then click on Password on your right and click the Change button.
Step 3: Follow the on-screen instructions and enter your current password to confirm it’s you. Then press Next.
Step 4: Now it will ask you to set a new password, but since we don’t want to, just click Next. Then click Finish.
You should now be able to log in directly with the local user account. Restart your computer to check if it works.
Forgot your password
The next time you sign in on your Windows 10 computer, all you have to do is click ‘Sign In’ for the account. With the above steps, you should be able to access your computer without entering a password.
Whether you choose to do that or not is entirely up to you. If you ask us, we advise you not to do it even if it is your personal computer.
