Windows 10: Eliminating use of password

Can I get rid of having to use a password to sign in to Windows 10?

Eliminate passwords

The fact is, every time a computer connects to the internet it leaves the private home. Attackers today are as effective from thousands of miles away as if they were sitting right next to us. And since our OP is against passwords, their only user account
must have Administrator permissions. As soon as that computer is hacked, not only does the attacker have unfettered access to the system, they can also use the computer to attack other systems. And all this will happen without the OP's knowledge.

Of course, password protection is no guarantee against attack. But it's one of the many layers that goes into hardening a computer against attack. And that's the idea ... put up as many roadblocks as you can in the hope of persuading an attacker to go away.

I personally would not counsel someone to remove password protection from their computer just as I would not counsel them to remove it from their network or their router or to prevent updates or to disable their malware protection. If it was only their own
computer being put at risk, then as they say in America: "It's a free country." But it's not only the OP's computer that's at risk; it's every computer that the OP's computer can harm. That could include websites that I might need for my livelihood or that
might infect my mother's computer.

 

Eliminate passwords

Sure.

If you only have one account, you won't even have to click on anything.

Setup a local account (only account on the machine in the end if you do not want to select which user to logon with) and set a blank password for it and use that account.

 

You can start here:
Sign in User Account Automatically at Windows 10 Startup - Windows 10 Forums

and here:
Require Sign-in on Wakeup - Turn On or Off in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

 

Thanks, done deal! Now if I can figure out why none of my contacts transferred I will be happy (maybe).
