Windows 10: Issue with Startup Repair and Password-less Sign-In

Recently, I activated password-less sign-in for my Microsoft account, which has been working seamlessly. However, when attempting to use Startup Repair, I was prompted to enter a password. Despite trying my previous passwords, I was unable to proceed, suggesting that the password-less sign-in feature may not be compatible with Startup Repair. Here are the specific details of my issue: 1. I initiated Startup Repair due to a system issue after having the latest windows update.2. Upon startup, the system requested a password, which should not be necessary given my password-less sign-in setup. 3.

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.

Hi Jeff,

System Startup is a tool to safely clean the Windows registry, improving performance, and increasing operating speed.

For us to resolve the issue, we suggest that you follow these troubleshooting steps:

• Disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wireless button if turned on.
