Windows 10: removing sign in requirement

Hello,

I would like to know how to remove the sign in requirement when my pc restarts. Somehow it baited me into making a password which I have and now I need to sign in with it every time my pc restarts or turns on.

When I go to change the settings, it requires me to "sign in" but it just takes me to change password.

:)

Hi Joel,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

I suggest you to follow the below steps to remove the sign in pin/password options.

• In the search box type sign-in-option.
• Click on the sign-in-option.
• Then you can find password/pin/picture password.
• There you can remove the option and check.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

 

Windows 10 sign in requirement

Microsoft should make the W10 sign in requirement optional. I can understand the security necessity in an office or other working environment, but there are many situations where this type of security is not an issue and the sign in is just an added inconvenience.
I was able to remove my W10 PIN Sign-in in at Sign in Options under Accounts. However, that created an even greater nuisance by requiring my Microsoft account sign in. I noticed an earlier post has outlined steps to remove the account sign in using netplwiz and some registry mods. Is this the way I should proceed now to get W10 to come from boots and sleep without human intervention ?

 

Remove sign on requirement at start up (Windows 10)

For some reason, maybe signing into shop, Windows 10 now wants me to sign in on starting the computer. This is very inconvenient to the family members who share this computer. I want to load straight into the desktop page.

I tried 2 suggested solutions (applicable to other versions)

1. I went into sign in options and chose 'never' for require sign in. However there is no apply button and when I restarted, the computer still wanted my password.

2. I went into change password. The hint suggested if I left new password blank, it would remove the password requirement. However the operation demanded a new password and would not move onto finish.

How do you remove the start up password requirement from Windows 10?
