    password to log onto computer

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being a part of Windows 10.

    I understand the inconvenience you are facing with entering the password before log-in to the computer, we will help you with this issue.

    I would like to inform that Windows 10 is by design you will have to enter a password to log-in as an Administrator account with Microsoft account. Local accounts can be used without entering any user account credentials.

    This feature is being implemented to make more secure with the user profiles.

    I suggest you to refer to the Microsoft article about: Help with Microsoft account


    Also, Sign in with a Microsoft account

    If you are not comfort to enter long letters of password to sign-in, you
    may also create the 4 digit PIN which will reduce your time to enter full password.

    Follow the below steps.

    • Press Windows + I keys to open
      settings menu.
    • Click on Accounts.
    • Click on Sign in options.
    • Click on Add under PIN.
    • Follow the onscreen instructions to create Pin.
    • Sign out and try to sign in again using
      PIN
      as your Sign in option.

    Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of this issue for further assistance, we will be happy to assist you.
