  2. Passwordless Login

    Hello,

    So what do you exactly want to configure when you say

    >can you have more than one Passwordless Login for multiple uses of same login

    One login is attached to one account, you do not have several types of login for a single account.

    Problems activating passwordless account

    Passwordless sign in not working 20H2

    Sven - could you be a little more specific? I've reset the registry and run netplwiz. It is now impossible to move the cursor (blue highlight) but it is on my user name. What are the next steps to make my account passwordless? Also, (since I can't move the cursor) how do I remove my wife's password?

    Never mind - I figured it out. Thanks for responding.
