    I'm hoping this is possible now or made possible in the future because both my username and password being hidden while typing them in at the login screen feels much more secure and I prefer my PC to be as secure as possible. Thanks in advance to anyone who takes time out of their schedule to answer this question.

    :)

    Not Able to login

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community.

    Please confirm the following things for me.

    1. Is your system connected to the internet? You can check this through the network icon at the bottom left corner of your login screen.
    2. What error message are you receiving when you login with your Microsoft account?

    I would suggest you to login to
    http://login.live.com/
    with your Microsoft account and check if you are able to sign-in with your credentials.

    If you are able to sign-in with your Microsoft account on the live website, you can follow the steps in this article to ‘Start
    your PC in safe mode in Windows 10
    ’, kindly follow the steps in the section ‘From the sign-in screen’ and check if you are able to login to your system.

    We await your response.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your reply.


    • Are you able to login to Microsoft Account on Web?

    • Have you installed any language pack?
    I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.

    Step 1: I suggest you to select the appropriate language in login screen at the bottom right corner and check if it helps.

    Steps 2: Use On-screen keyboard in the login screen to login and check if it helps.

    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.

    Hide email at login screen

    I managed to hide the email address by following this method:

    • Press WIN + I keys to access the Settings app.
    • Click on Users
    • Navigate to the Sign-in options section where you’ll will find the option
      Show account details on sign-in screen.
    • Set the switch to Off. Your email address will no longer appear at the login screen.
    If that option is not available for your Windows build, you can also use the group policy to block the system from showing email address. Check

    this article
    for details.
