  1. Computer requires sign in?


    My computer started asking for a password, although it's set to never. Also it created an account from my administrative account, and just entered a partial email address. How do I remove the requirement for a password, (it's still set to never), and how do I delete the ghost account that is a clone of my administrative account, and does not show up in users, except the lower left screen, and when it tells me the account and password are incorrect?

    :)

    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.
