So now you have three convenient ways to tell Windows 10 your password: You can type it, just like a normal password; you can click or tap on a picture; or you can pretend it’s a smartphone and enter a PIN.

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, it’s dangling from a vine over a pot of boiling oil — and you just don’t want to be bothered with typing or tapping a password?

As long as you have a Local account, it’s easy. 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 your username on the login screen, Windows 10 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 (picture, PIN, Hello, whatever) once each time you reboot. If you don’t want to be bothered after that, see the Require Sign-In drop-down choice at the top of the Sign-In options screen. Click to change the answer to “If you’ve been away, when should Windows require you to sign in again?” to Never.
