Windows 10: Computer logs straight into my account without asking for a password

I have a password set, and it works 99% of the time. However, there are times when the computer is turned off, and when I turn it on, the Acer logo appears and then instead of asking for a password, it goes straight to the desktop. I tried searching for this on Google but can't seem to find anyone with the same problem.

Computer doesn't asks for log-in password for my account on Windows 10

Hi Willie,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

As your concern is about password for your user account, do let us know the following to assist you better:

• Have you made any changes to the operating system/ user account prior to this issue?
• Are you referring to Microsoft account?
• Have you logged in with any different user account on your computer?

I suggest you press Windows + R Type netplwiz, Tap or click on the
OK button. The Advanced User Accounts program will open:

On the Users tab, which should be where you're at now,
check the box next to Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.
Tap or click the OK button at the bottom of the Window.

Lock the computer and check if it prompts for password.

Reply to the post with the required information, we will be happy to help you further accordingly.

 

Steam account 'logged in elsewhere'.

So this time Steam didn't automatically log me in but asked for my password because I was 'logged in elsewhere'.

Personally I know for sure I wasn't. Obviously I changed my password.

However, this has already happened some weeks ago as well... and I had changed my password then too.

I see no difference in my account, my games are still there, I can still log in, no one played any games using my account.

So, two questions:

- Can I say for sure that someone is guessing my password and logging in?

- Is there a way to check through my steam account where 'elsewhere' is?

 

Steam account 'logged in elsewhere'.

Steam asks me to verify my account with that stupid email every single time I log in at work to check the deals. On top of that, it thinks I live in Derbyshire, which is about 2 hours drive away. I wouldn't worry personally if you've changed your details already.
