So now you have three convenient ways to tell Windows 11 your password: You can type it, just like a normal password; you can pretend it’s a smartphone and enter a PIN; or you can just look at your webcam.

But what if you don’t want a password? What if your computer is secure enough — it’s sitting in your house, it’s in your safe deposit box — and you just don’t want to be bothered with typing or tapping a password?

If you have a local account, you can just remove your password. Turn it into a blank. Follow the steps in Book 2, Chapter 4 to change your password but leave the New Password field blank.

Microsoft accounts can’t have blank passwords, but local accounts can. If you have a blank password, when you click or tap your username on the login screen, Windows 11 ushers you to the desktop. If only one user is on the PC and that user has a blank password, just getting past the lock screen takes you to the desktop.

If you have a Microsoft account, you have to use your password (PIN, password, or Windows Hello) each time you reboot.
