How to sign in to Windows 10 without having to enter a password

A question that arises very frequently among Windows users is how to log in to the system without having to enter a password, that is, turning on the equipment and it going directly to the desktop, without the need for further intervention by the user.

Microsoft does not provide a simple way to achieve this, but it is still possible to achieve it by accessing hidden system options. Just press the Start button, type the command netplwiz and press Enter.

"

Then a window like this will appear, in which you have to uncheck the box _Users must enter their name and password to use the equipment_, and then press OK ."

Finally, all that remains is to restart the computer, and that's it. Windows 10 will no longer ask us for a password to log in when turning on the PC.

"

However, if our account still has a password, Windows will continue to request it after the computer enters the state of suspension To avoid For the latter, go to Settings > Accounts > Login options and select the option Never in the Require login section."

And even so, if our Windows account is linked to a Microsoft account we will not be allowed to completely eliminate the use of password (and that password will always be the same as the Microsoft account), and therefore, this will be requested every time we lock the computer using the WIN + L keys.

In order to use a _completely password-free_ account, we must convert it to a local account, which can be done by going to Settings > Accounts > Your account > Sign in with a local account instead .

"

Once the conversion to a local account is complete, go back to Settings > Accounts > Login Options, click the Change button, enter your current password, and when prompted for the new password must be leave all spaces blank"

Having done this, we will make sure that Windows never asks us for a password to log in, even after locking the computer.

It is worth saying that by not requiring a password we run the risk that anyone can use our equipment and access our data , even for malicious purposes, so think twice before disabling the use of passwords for login.
