Windows 10: Sign in to MS account without typing PW

Local account signs in without PW.
Microsoft account prompts for one at sign in (but not from SLEEP).

It appears from the following MS statement that typing is mandatory. Is this the case, or is there a way to auto sign in?

"If you don't want to enter your password every time you sign in, you can create other sign-in options to use with your account, like a picture password or a PIN. If your PC has a fingerprint scanner, you can also sign in with a fingerprint. (Whichever sign-in option you choose, you still need a "regular" password in place to use a Microsoft account.)"

signing in with my MS account to use the Feedback Hub

Hi,

I have the Windows 10 Home 64-bit anniversary update(V:1607, Build 14393.0) installed,

When I tried signing in with my MS account to use the Feedback Hub, I was redirected to "type in the Windows PW" once I signed into my MS account.

So, my questions are:



1- If I typed my Windows PW as required, then whenever I want to sign into Windows, I will only need to sign in with MS account PW.
2- If yes, then I can setup this settings back to use the Windows PW if I want to log into Windows.
3- What benefits are there 'from here on out, you'll unlock this device using either the password for my MS account" after signing to this device using my MS account using Feedback Hub? Benefits would be if my notebook was lost, then I will find it. If
my notebook was stolen, how this action would be useful?

Since I was afraid that I will not able to setup back to sign in to Windows using the Windows PW, then I only selected 'sign in to just this app instead. So, I was signed in to Feedback Hub app using my MS account.

 

How to change my Windows 10 Login PW

Hi,

I can't figure out how to change my Windows 10 Login PW. If I go to Windows settings, it says I'm using an online MS account to sign in. That account has a different PW than the Windows 10 PW that I use every day to sign on to my laptop. If I go to sign
in options / change your PW, it doesn't accept the Windows 10 PW I'm using to sign onto my laptop.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Hello borgus, *Smile

A Microsoft account requires a password.

If you like, you could set Windows 10 to automatically sign in to your Microsoft account at startup.

Thanks for that instant reply Brink.^_^
I had just read your article (and others), but it didn't seem to do the deed. I will revisit it.

 

If you only sign out, then yeah that won't help for when you have to sign in again. It's only for at startup.
