Windows 10: Disable login password

Hi,
I linked my Windows 10 account to a Microsoft account in order to activate my online License as described here

Now Windows is asking me for my live password or PIN. Is there a way to remove that password/pin? I tried this method but it results in having two accounts with the same name on the login screen. One without a password and one with.

Is there a way to get the behaviour I had before i.e. having Windows start till the desktop without password?

(I know that an OS without a password is not recommended but I do not care about that)

cheers

:)

Password issue

After going through the steps to make a new password, after a week or two, my login credentials are no longer valid. I'm forced to make a new password all over again. It seems to happen if I don't login in a certain period of time. Does our passwords expire???
