How to prevent Windows 10 from asking us for a password every time we turn on our computer or log in

Although it is recommended that to access our PC with Windows 10 (also with macOS) it asks us for the password, there may be cases in which it is not necessary to have a access control In this case, the use of a password is enough to allow direct access to the desktop.

Loss of security and privacy, it's true, but for all those who don't need this system, Windows allows you to log in to the system without having to enter a passwordEven if you already have a password, removing it is possible just by following these steps.

How to remove the password

"

To achieve this, simply access the Start menu>write the command netplwiz and access it in the right panel but using administrator permissions. "

"

We will see a new window with different options and of all of them we must uncheck the box Users must write their name and password to use the equipmentand click on Apply."

"

The device will ask us, as a security measure, to enter our current password to confirm our identity. Then we only have to click on Accept."

We just have to restart the computer and from that point, Windows 10 will no longer ask us for a password to log in when turning on the PC.

"

However, Windows will still prompt for the password if the computer wakes from a sleep state. To avoid this, just go to Settings, Email and accounts and within Login options check option Never in section Require Login"

Move to a local account

We have completed the step, but maybe still, if our Windows account is linked to a Microsoft account, the computer will let us ask for the password every time we lock the computer using the Win + L keys.

"

To end this limitation we must use a local account instead To do so we have to go back to Settings and Email & Accounts and press Your InformationAt that point we will see the section Login with a local account instead"

At that point a configuration wizard starts in which we have to carry out several steps, the first being to confirm our account Username and our Microsoft account and thus confirm our identity.

From there we are going to configure our local Windows 10 account by typing a username, a local password ( we must leave it blank so that it does not ask us for a password ) and an indicator to help us remember the password.

"

At that point we click on Log out and finish and at that point, Windows 10 will close our session and we will have our new account local active."
