    No login password craziness


    I just re-installed Win10-64-Home-1909. I do not need a password at login, but am not able to do that. Here is what I have tried so far:
    netplwiz - uncheck user to enter password. Under user name box below that is my MS email account name. Apply. OK
    Reboot. Username and password required. Only MS account/Password gets me in.

    Regedit - Under WinLogon/AutoAdmin/Login I entered a 0 in place of the 1. There is no DefaultPassword.
    Reboot. Username and password required. Only MS account/Password gets me in.

    What am I doing wrong?

    :)

    No login password craziness

    Brink, that was the missing step. What threw me off was in netplwiz, where it asks about password for my MS account, the user name was not the same as my MS account name. Once I entered the password (twice) I can now login without entering a password. In fact the name that was listed was not the MS account name, but a folder name. The folder is the one that shows when you click on C:\Users.
    Thanks for the help.

    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    After going through the steps to make a new password, after a week or two, my login credentials are no longer valid.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???
