Windows 10: Can't do away with any and all sign in requirements

Windows 10 Home. Two years ago a tech set my computer to 'no sign in requirements'. Last week computer suddenly required password, PIN etc... had to provide. I've searched web to reestablish freedom from pass/PIN etc. In Settings/Accounts I've set to NEVER require sign-in...also followed expert advice to reset password to BLANK but that's not allowed. Not tech savvy enough to go into registry. I haven't set a local user account. There must be a simpler way to preserve my freedom of choice to be password free... does anybody know it?

password sign in

Hi,

About your concern with typing the password after being idle, it is actually recommended to activate for security reasons.

If you wish to disable it, I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

• Go to Settings.
• Click on Accounts.
• Click on Sign in options.
• On the right side, you will see required sign in.
• Change it to Never.

Let us know how it goes.

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 ?
