  1. Login Screen Password Box Text Input


    I can sign into my computer at the login screen. However, when I type letters into the password input box it doesn't show that I am typing anything. When I type numbers it does show the little circles indicating that I have typed something. If I just type in my password, it shows the numbers being input but not the text. When I type the last character of my password windows just automatically logs me in. Any ideas what is going on here?

    :)

  2. No password login box

    Hi Helen,

    There could be changes made with the settings on your computer that has disabled the option to have users to log in with a username and password. This should be enabled back to get again the login window.

    If you're able to login to your system without using the password, please follow these steps to enable the login window during startup:

    • Right-click the Windows key and select Run.
    • In the Run field, type in control userpasswords2 and hit
      Enter.
    • In the User Accounts dialog box, check the box for Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.
    • Click Apply, then OK.
    • Restart your computer and see if you're prompted with the login window.

    In case you can't login to your system, please boot your computer in Safe Mode. Check out the link,

    Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10
    and follow the steps in From the sign-in screen. Once you're in Safe Mode, follow the steps above to enable the password prompt. Once done, restart your computer to go back to normal mode.

    Update us on how it goes so we can assist you further.

    Regards.

    Setting the default input method for the Windows 10 login screen

    I had the same question but with French being the default on Windows 10 rather than the one I wanted so I ended up here.

    HoD is very close. I was able to use his suggestion to find the solution for me. This solution uses your current display and input language to change the Welcome screen and possible for new user accounts if you want. So make sure you have the display and input settings while logged in that you want to apply to the login screen before doing the steps:

    1. Click the language on the Taskbar.
    2. Then click Language preferences.
    3. At the bottom under "Related settings," click "additional date, time, & regional settings" which opens the control panel
    4. Click the "Region" option
    5. Then go to the far right tab "Administrative". (HoD's step 2)
    6. In the "Welcome screen and new user accounts" click copy settings. (HoD's step 3)
    7. Tick "Welcome screen and system accounts" (and "new user accounts" if you want it to be applied to those as well). (HoD's step 4)
    8. Click Ok. (HoD's step 5)

    I was able to use HoD's suggestion to find the solution here. It's for Windows 8.1, but works on 10 so far.

    Hope it will help you, too!

  4. Login Screen Password Box Text Input

    No password prompt at login screen. Can not login.


    Disabling Windows Biometric Service can cause slow logins. Some websites recommend stopping Windows Biometric Service if you don't have a fingerprint scanner or similar. But the service will not stop. Turns itself back on if you stop it.

    After boot without Windows Biometric Service, there is a long delay before the user sees the password prompt. The lock screen works, but the login screen only has its icons in the lower right corner. The password input box will eventually appear, but takes a long 3 or more minutes.
