How to Disable Windows 10 Login Password

If you are logged in to your computer using a Microsoft account, you can’t delete the login password as this is linked to your user-id. However, you may choose to disable the same using the below instructions –

Launch the Run dialog by pressing the Windows key and R.
Type “netplwiz” and press OK.

When the User Account Control window comes into view, hit Yes to authorize the access.
Next, pick the account that you no longer want to have a login passkey.
Unmark the checkbox – “User must enter a user name and password to use this computer“.
Click Apply then OK to confirm this setting.
A new pop-up window should appear asking your consent to disable the login password.
Use your Microsoft credentials to sanction this permission.
Click OK then OK again to confirm the above changes.
Lastly, restart your computer.

From the next logon, you may sign in to your device without putting any password on the login screen.

How to Delete Windows 10 Login Password

As stated earlier, you can’t delete the login password while using a Microsoft account. In case, you no longer require this account and want to remove the login password, you may do so by switching to a local account instead. Here’s how to perform this task –

Click Next to proceed ahead.
When Microsoft asks to fill in your current Pin/Password, do the same, and press Enter.
On the succeeding screen, fill in the user name field only. Leave other details like New password, confirm password, and password hint as it is.

Lastly, hit the Finish button.

Proceeding this way will disconnect your device from using Microsoft and its services. From now onward, you may log into your device without entering any Pin or password on the login screen.
