Changing Windows 10 Sign in options

Hi Andy,

If you sign in to Windows with a local account, you can choose not to enter a password. However, we don't recommend this as it's the least secure way to sign in to your PC. If you still wish not to use a password, you may follow these steps:

• Open Settings and click on the Accounts icon.
• Click on Sign-in options on the left side, and click on the
  Change button under Password.
• Type in your current password, and click on Next.
  
• Leave the New password, Reenter password, and
  Password hint fields empty, and click on Next.
  
• Click on Finish.
